Ernest Dawson tells here why every bookseller will find it profitable to push a PRIMER OF BOOK COLLECTING by John T. Winterich ($2.00).

A. Edward Newton says of it: "An invaluable little book . . . it has my unqualified indorsement." THE SATURDAY REVIEW says "It deserves a perusal from the seasoned collector himself for its lucid and taking style." The N. Y. EVENING POST says "For one who would be initiated into the most fascinating of hobbies this book is a convenient password." And George H. Sargent in the BOSTON TRANSCRIPT says: "Apart from the needed wisdom about book collecting which it imparts, there isn't a dull line in it. One who cannot get his money's worth out of this book has no business to be collecting books of any kind."

A PRIMER OF BOOK COLLECTING is the sort of book that every bookseller will enjoy selling, because it is a splendid book and because it stimulates book-buying.

Second Edition now in press.

Arms and Men in Lively Reminiscence

LAND, SEA AND AIR

By ADMIRAL MARK KERR, R. N.

From a man who has been associated with a bewildering variety of important events and
persons and places of recent years. Intimate glimpses of royalty at play contrast with
pictures of social life in New York. There is a startling version of the ex-Kaiser's part
in the World War. There is a chapter dealing with the Battle of Jutland, there are
reminiscences of King Constantine, Prince Louis of Battenburg, and a British Navy that
still had its sailing vessels. Polo, yachting and the stage have their part in this story
of one who was peculiarly privileged as a spectator and as a participant in public and
social life of the last fifty years.

A New Novel by the Author of
"The Nightingale: a Life of Chopin"

THE COUNTERFEITS

By MARJORIE STRACHEY

A young English woman's romance with a Russian officer. It is a psychological study told through exciting action and in an unusual manner. Instead of the usual triangle there are five persons involved, and the story in Russia is told in retrospect while the heroine moves through a later experience in London that is parallel at certain points to her former one, and finally merges with it. Crown 8vo. $2.00

PEARL AND PLAIN

By ACEITUNA GRIFFIN

The story of a peer, a match-making mother, and two interesting young ladies. Pearl Morland and her cousin Christina, are both exquisite in their way, and what Lord Comberton finally does about them is worked out with humor and suspense. $2.00
