OME of the jewelry auction shops along Broadway, New York, and the seaside board walks have installed protection sirens over their doorways. When these sirens go off, they make a terrific noise.

The best new book each month selected for you by this committee

AND SENT TO YOU REGULARLY ON AP-
PROVAL-A UNIQUE SERVICE FOR THOSE
WHO WISH TO KEEP ABREAST OF
THE BEST NEW BOOKS AS THEY APPEAR

ERTAINLY there is nothing more satisfying, to a person who loves books, than to keep abreast of the best new works of our present-day writers, as they appear. And, inversely, there are few things more annoying than to miss the outstanding books, when everybody else of intelligence is reading, discussing and enjoying them. Yet how frequently most of us disappoint ourselves in this way!

Think over the last few years. How often have interesting books appeared, widely discussed and widely recommended, books you were really anxious to read and fully intended to read when you "got around to it," but which nevertheless you missed! Why does this happen to you so often?

The true reason lies in your habits of book-buying. Through carelessness, or through the driving circumstances of a busy life, you simply overlook obtaining books that you really want to read. Or you live in a district remote from bookstores, where it is impossible to get the best new books without difficulty.

This need be true no longer. A unique service has been organized, which will deliver to you every month, without effort or trouble on your part, the best book of that month, whether fiction or non-fiction. And if the book you receive is not one you would have chosen yourself, you may exchange it for a book you prefer, from a list of other new books that are recommended. In this way, automatically, you keep abreast of the best literature of the day.

These "best books" are chosen for you, from the books of all publishers, by a group of unbiased critics and writers, whose judgment as to books and whose catholicity of taste have been demonstrated for many years before the public. The members of

this Selecting Committee, who have agreed to perform this service, are listed above. With each book sent there is always included some interesting comment by a member of the committee upon the book and the author.

The price at which the books are billed to you is in every case the publisher's retail price. There are no extra charges for the service.

A very interesting prospectus has been prepared, explaining the many conveniences of this plan. This prospectus will convince you of several things: that the plan will really enable you always to "keep up" with the best of the new books; that you will never again, through carelessness, miss books you are anxious to read; that the recommendations of this unbiased committee will guide you in obtaining books that are really worth-while; that there is no chance of your purchasing books that you would not choose to purchase anyway; and that, in spite of the many conveniences of the plan, the cost of the books you get is no greater than if you purchased them yourself. Send for this prospectus, using the coupon below or a letter. Your request will involve you in no obligation to subscribe.
