4 Massachusetts Audubon Society 



Cijrisitmag Suggestions; 



The Audubon Bird Charts are a useful and beautiful gift for the boy or 

 girl of the family. They are authoritative in form and coloring, they teach 

 through their very presence on the wall of the school-room or nursery, and 

 they last a lifetime. Chart No. 3 is for the present out of stock, but Charts 

 1 and 2 may be purchased at the old price, $1.50 each, with descriptive 

 booklet, until December 1st. Owing to the greatly increased cost of litho- 

 graphic work after that date the price will have to be $2.50 each. 



People who have already purchased their Audubon Calendars for this 

 year say that they are more attractive than ever. Certainly the sales have 

 been going forward rapidly, rather more rapidly than last year. The stock 

 of these Calendars is larger than ever before, but it might be well to put in 

 your order early. Last year all available supplies were exhausted early in 

 December. The price remains as last year, $1.00 each, postage paid. 



Some more than usually attractive greeting cards with pictures in color 

 published by the Medici Society of London may be obtained at the office to 

 be included in these calendars where they are to be mailed as gifts, at prices 

 ranging from ten to sixty cents each. Surely nothing of this sort for Christ- 

 mas could be finer than "The Piper of Dreams" with its poem and the re- 

 production of the exquisite water-color painting by Estella Canziani. 



Members and others who have thus far purchased autographed author's 

 edition copies of "Old Plymouth Trails" have in many cases expressed their 

 substantial appreciation of the book by reorders, sometimes to the extent 

 of several more copies as gifts to interested friends. More copies are avail- 

 able though the stock runs low. In an altogether friendly and appreciative 

 review of this book the Yale Review, a national quarterly, says, in its October 

 issue: "Not a book of history, this; yet it serves the reader as books of his- 

 tory should, but too seldom do. It is not the historian but the naturalist, 

 observing, probing, listening to the lore of tree and stone and brook as to 

 the communings of his brothers, who pictures to us the Pilgrim background 

 so intimately and convincingly that we are fain to take his view also of the 

 man in front of it." The price of the autographed author's edition of "Old 

 Plymouth Trails" is $3.50, postpaid. 



We have in our exhibition case at the office the best in bird books both 

 for study and recreational reading. You are invited to inspect these. We 

 shall be glad to have you use them here, or, in case you wish to purchase 

 for yourself or as a gift, we can order them for you and have them sent from 

 the publisher with bill. This will be at the regular price but will include 

 postage. The society thus makes the bookseller's modest margin of profit, 

 for the good of the cause. Some of the standard books we have in stock, 

 and you can get them here just as you would at the bookstore. Here is a 

 list of these with prices, which may, however, be advanced at any time as 

 the cost of publishing seems steadily to increase.
