being mainly editorials, rants, from his monthly Reading and Collecting to promote his Argus Bookstore. some market observations, some books he wants to sell and many things he intends to do. i.e. Galsworthy's Forsyte Saga, a first collected edition with over 10,000 copies printed went for $150.00 (in 1936), while Dicken's first issue of Chimes went for only $45.00 and his Bombey and Son in the original parts went for $92.50! i find his writing somewhat forced, with a lot of literary allusions and unnecessarily long words. There are some insights and some acute observations on bookselling, even if a mahority of his stock was new and or self-published. ( )
