The Tidal Wave of Books

become the centers- of institutions for
the development of music and the arts
that have grown up around them And
every one of these has helped to Gre
ate and maintain d demand for books.
The time has not arrived when any
estimate of the good accomplished by
the library movement can be made, but
we may be sure that it's influence will
become more and more apparent as
one generation of habitual readers and
students succeeds another. In the Car
negie Foundation we have the largest
gift to the cause Of popular education
of which history has any record. The
ironma ster's father, Scotch weaver,
had founded primitive library in his
native village, and the son, like Ben
jamin Franklin, derived his earliest
taste for books from those lent him
by man better off than himself. 1t
was in recognition of this that the first
of the Carnegie libraries was called the
Anderson and adorned with a statue
of that benefactor. r.,
In supplying only the building and
obliging the community to fill the book
shelves Mr.. Carnegie displayed more
wisdom than certain economists have
given him credit for. This policy COM
PEELED local taxpayers to recognize the
commercial value Of the library to the
town in which it was erected, and this
meant a long stride in the direction of
higher intelligence and culture.
The Western Way
In certain of orr Western states
and the West is usually to be found in
the van of progress, intellectual as we'll
as material-the county Libraries have
adopted the system of distribution that
originated in Maryland. Motor cars
laden with books are sent through the
outlying country, stopping at even the
most remote farm houses and supply
ing their inmates with free reading
matter of every sort. In relieving the
tedium of otherwise dreary lives and
spreading wholesome taste for better
things this service is of inestimable
value, and, it may be added, so highly
appreciated by farmers and their fam
lilies that the politicians in control Of
the county finances do not dare to op-
pose it.
But the libraries are not the only in
1uences that have contributed to the
present prosperous state Of the book
trade. The 10-cent magazines, whose
sudden rise to popularity was coeval
with the inception of the library move
ment, did much to promote the reading
habit. Prior to their appearance the
nations periodical literature had
largely been of two kinds, expensive
publications like "Harpers" and "The
Century" and cheap weeklies like "The
Ledger" and what were termed family
story papers," which were of wretched
literary quality. Before the interna-
tional copyright act had gone into
effect the cheap reprints Of the works
of English authors had given an added
vogue to the best literature of the Vic
torian age, but it remained for the
10-cent monthlies to make native fiction
popular. To these periodicals may be
traced the sudden rise of such best
sellers" as Janice Meredith" and

(From The Wiln.fnoton Starr

By James L. Ford

David Harum," which astonished the
book trade of their day.
A still greater impetus was given to
the business of selling books when the
department stores began to handle
them, not infrequently shaving the
prices in order to attract customers. To
meet this new demand gayly-colored
jackets or paper covers were invented,
and the layman would be surprised to
know the power a picture Of girl
standing by horse has in the work of
promoting a sale. The trade Of these
department stores has developed to an
enormous degree, and in the event of
printing and binding costs declining it
would not surprise me to see cheap
editions feature of the FIVE and ten
cent stores.
About this time novels that had had
wide sale at the published price be-
gan to appear in half-dollar editions,
in which form they enjoyed renewed
popularity.
Literary Lds1nchiEags
Meanwhile the science of publicity.
confined within my own memory to the
theatrical profession, made its way
into nearly every branch Of commerce
and was speedily adopted by progress
sive publishers. The simple para
graphs of an elder age assumed a new
and more interesting form, dealing not
only with the books but with their
authors, concerning whom all sorts of
personal information was set afioat
and widely read and quoted. Journal
lists, and even literary men of marked
talent, entered into the new profess
sion and there gained better rewards
than they had previously enjoyed.
Ideas for attracting attention took on
high value in the eyes Of publishers
and many book has been successfully
launched on the uncertain sea of pub
lie approval by the adroit work of the
press agent. A masterpiece of pub
licity was achieved when the famous
Mark Twain dinner inaugurated the
sale Of the complete edition Of that
humorist's works.
That the professional is superior to
the amateur in this line of endeavor
is indicated by the fact that the So
called "back-scratching" or mutual
puffery Of authors that ranks high
among recent forms Of annoyance has
had very little effect on the sales Of
their books.
