Boston, Mass.,

Editor, Publishers' Weekly:

The excellent article by Myron Williams in the last Publishers' Weekly recommends, among other volumes, "Daniel Boone" by Stanley Vestal.

I suppose he intended to say "Kit Carson" which we have just published, as I know of no life of Boone by this author.

We have had a number of inquiries about this and I wish you would, if possible, correct the error in your next issue.

HOUGHTON MIFFLIN COMPANY,
R. N. Linscott.

[Two excellent books on frontier heroes have here probably been confused. Stanley Vestal's volume was, as Mr. Linscott points out, "Kit Carson." "Daniel Boone" by Stewart Edward White was issued by Doubleday, Page in a new and beautiful edition with illustrations by James Daugherty last year.-ED.]

Change in Price

ALFRED A. KNOPF, INC. "Columbus," by Marius André, has been reduced from $5.00 to $4.00.

"In American" by John V. A. Weaver has been advanced from $1.50 to $2.00.

HARPER & BROS.

The notice of increase in price of Watson's "Ways of Behaviorism" in the April 28th issue was incorrect. It should have stated that Dr. Watson's book has been reduced from $3.50 to $2.50.
