the superintendent of docu-
ments In the Government
Printing Office has some lit
erature on the subject. This
office sells about $4,000 900
publications a year and dis
tributes free about 65, ,0OO, 900
more to libraries and others.
1t has almost a million and
a half books, pamphlets and
maps in its library, and each
year gets 10000 new docu-
ments. All of them are writ
ten or produced by Govern
ment agencies, and the super
intendent of documents can
sell them so cheaply because
there are no authors royal
ties to worry about.
The publications are sold by
mail order in every village
and town, and In Washington
they also are sold over the
counter In a main bookstore
in the GPO and in branch
stores in the Commerce De-
partment lobby and In the
State Department Building,
l778 Pennsylvania avenue.
The office keeps about 80
100000 copies of various pub
lications in stock at all times.
Naturally, the job of storing,
handling and mailing them
and of processing about 5000
sales orders a day, poses an
enormous task. It takes an
office force of $50 to do the

job, and the handling of the
publications has been simpli-
fled by the installation of
mechanical conveyor belts
and a pneumatic tube system.
Far and away the best seller
Uncle Sam has put out is
Infant Care" Since it was
first published by the Chill
dren's Bureau in 1915 this
pamphlet has sold about
5000, 900 copies. Still going
strong, its sales now average a
copy every two minutes.
Other fast sellers include
Prenatal Care" with a total
Of more than 5000, 900 copies:
Your Income Tax" with a
sale of more than a half mil
lion copies, and Care and Re-
pair of the House," with a
quarter of a million sales.
A newcomer to the best
seller list Is Family Fare" a
book of recipes and cooking.
Roy B. Eastin, superin-
tendent of documents, says it
is quite common for his office
to receive mail inclosing a few
coins and stating simply,
Send me the book" To some
this might be an enigma, but
his office has it all figured
out:
IF Is cents is inclosed we
send Infant Care if it's a
quarter we send Your Income
Tax If it's SO cents we send
