B In the Book Market EFORE we turn to annual summaries for after all we mustn't be out of step with the rest of this number-let us quote Felix Riesenberg's acknowledgment note in the front of "East Side, West Eide," still hot from Harcourt, Brace's press. "Acknowledgment," he writes, "is due Miss Margaret Rierdon, of Henri Bendel, Inc., of New York, for her kind help in describing gowns worn by the more fashionable women characters in this novel. F. R." It reads like a theater program. What bookseller, or librarian, we'd like to know suggested books that were found in the library described on page seventy-one? & & & Lists and lists and lists of the best books, the near-best and the worst, but none more interesting than the list of the books-of-themonths. The committee of the Book-ofthe Month Club which makes these selections includes Henry Seidel Canby, Dorothy Canfield, Heywood Broun, Christopher Morley and William Allen White. Its first selection, that for April, 1926, was Sylvia Warner's "Lolly Willowes." The succeeding ones follow: April. "Lolly Willowes," by Sylvia War- May. "Teeftallow," by T. S. Stribling. June. "O Genteel Lady," by Esther July. "Saga of Billy the Kid," by Walter September. "Show Boat," by Edna Fer- October. "The Time of Man," by Eliz. Madox Roberts. Viking. The Book-of-the-Month Club has just made known its selection for January, which is now being sent out to its subscribers. It is "The Heart of Emerson's Journals," edited by Bliss Perry and published by Houghton Mifflin. This marks an important step for the Club since it is the first "heavy" selection-"Saga of Billy the Kid" was informal biography. It will be interesting to watch its reception. Harry Hansen in the New York World called this an important year, for, he wrote, "A year that opens with 'An American Tragedy' and closes with 'Israfel' is important no matter what lies between." For the first six places for popularity in fiction he nominated: Anita Loos, John Erskine, Edna Ferber, John Galsworthy, P. C. Wren and Warwick Deeping; for the six in non-fiction: Will Durant, Mark Sullivan, Bruce Barton, George A. Dorsey, Paul de Kruif and Carl Sandburg. Finally he says, "As for books that left a definite impression on the mind of this reviewer, they were: "The Time of Man' by Elizabeth Madox Roberts; 'Education and the Good Life' by Bertrand Russell; "The Mauve Decade' by Thomas Beer; 'Abraham Lincoln' by Carl Sandburg, and 'An American Tragedy' by Theodore Dreiser." In The Nation, that conscientious and ever-reliable critic, Carl Van Doren, gave a list of Interesting Books of 1926 which we give here. "Abraham Lincoln." By Carl Sandburg. Harcourt. "Jefferson." By Albert Jay Nock. Har court. "George Washington." By W. E. Wood- "The Intimate Papers of Colonel House." "Israfel." By Hervey Allen. Doran. "Guy de Maupassant." By Ernest Boyd.

With these lists we're thru with summaries and such for another year, tho if any selection including Robert Nathan's "Fiddler in Barly" and Barnes' "Art in Painting" turns up we'd be willing-we'd be eager to spend our time and yours on it. And we did enjoy "Crewe Train." Mr. Harris's Suit THE suit against Frank Harris for hav ing published the second volume of his "My Life" still goes on in Paris. Mr. Harris claims that it is the first time that a foreigner has been prosecuted in France for a book written in a foreign tongue. In a recent letter he said he enjoyed the prosecution, "for it has called out expressions of sympathy from nearly all the first men of letters in France, but no word has reached me from America or England." Mr. Harris claims that the whole prosecution has been instigated by the English Embassy.
