He who seeks real bargains in gooC
books, We believe, stands a much better
chance Of getting his moneys worth
than most OF the bargain hunters. This
activity presupposes genuine regard
and love for books. and. usually. but
not necessarily. necessity for some
counting OF the pennies.
The genuine book bargain hunter

Perhaps a booklover insensibly comes
to the conclusion that there must be
something inherently criminal about
paying good money for mere books

ceives from the conversation of some
