self much abcut literature per Sc.
Yet when you get one of those IS
books marked down to s1.79" In
the chain drug stores and cigar
stands, Just credit Max.
Max may or may not know Just
what service he is doing TO the
world by letting it peep into books
that It might not otherwise be able
to afford.
For Max Is the gent who takes
the unsold copies of q publishers
hands az q very low price and turns
them loose upon the world at a
great bargain. And it's an innova-
ton which Is having more than a
light effect on the nations reading.
AS for Max himself. he is not to
be impressed by important names
and well known titles. Max finds
that the great public wants TO get
its moneys worth in bulk II not in
art. When q book Is thick and big
in appearance and has a flashy
jacket, then the turnover is better.
What Of the content? Max may
not know all about his book, but he
knows a lot about his public. Which
OF course, has caused many an earn
est young publisher to sigh.
