 This is an astonishing list sSi shows how hungry these people are for books. Of course, they cannot spend too much money for books in their present financial state; however, up to December 31, 1949, ECA has made available S2,823,291 in exchange contracts for books, magazines, newspapers and motion pictures. Of this amount, s1,163, ,539 has gone to movies, which is a comparatively small amount considering their huge appeal to the less literate. The exchange guarantees for books have run:
 Western Germany $588,130
 Netherlands 68,000
 Austria 542
 Italy 35,375
 Total S692,047
 The largest exporter of American books is the Nassau Distributing Company, a group of American publishers mainly of scientific and technical books. They have sent over $2OO,0O0 of such books. In fact, the total of technical, scien- tific and medical books is much higher in dollar value, than gen. eral books.
 This picture may seem too re- fined; true, some of the books that go over deal with murder, sex,

have been puzzled for some time about the report of American publishers to push their books in Europe and the association of ECA funds to make exchange availbale And just as I was getting into the matter, my interest was diverted to best sellers.
 So, went to Robert F. de Graf, who runs a series of 5-cent books called Pocket Books. I did not select him for any other reason than that I felt the door was open to me there to discover what I wanted. I suppose other publishers could have given me the same or similar data. What I want to point to is this list of best sellers in Western Germany and Holland |.
