Should One 



Buy Books or Borrow Them f 



THE central feature of the service given by Ct)E CllllCS Book Club's 

 Library is that, with the few exceptions mentioned in the prospectus, 

 hooks not on the lihrary shelves when asked for ivill be specially bought 

 for the subscriber from the publishers. 



How completely this undertaking is kept, and in how many other im- 

 portant respects the library service given by ^\)Z CmiES Book Club is 

 superior to any other, will be seen from the following testimonials received 

 from two subscribers, and now printed by permission : 



A Very Real Pleasure 



" 1 should like to take this opportunity of ex- 

 pressing my extreme satisfaction with the service 

 providtd by you. It would, I think, be a very 

 serious omission on my part if I were not to place 

 on record my apprtciation of the unfailing 

 courtesy and help which I have at all tim.s re- 

 ceived from your staff. It is a very real pleasure 

 to belong to your Library, and, althougfi I have 

 at various times belonged to many others, I can 

 say without any rest rvationwhateverthat I knew 

 of no other to which I shouldnowcare to belong." 



72 Books (costing £42:9: 6) for £6:6:0 



"Here is a small point that may interest you, 

 for it has impressed me. During the last 

 twelve months, fcr the sum of six guineas (cr, 

 say, under half a crown a week), I, a busy 

 man with very moderate leisure, have been 

 able to keep abreast of the best literature of 

 the day without the least trouble cr incon- 

 venience to myself or my household. I only 

 wish I had kept a list cf your books read 

 in this period, most cf them within a week 

 of publication." 



Tlie books read by tliis subscriber during the year numbered 72, 0/ which 22 ivere novels and 50 of a more 

 serious character. If purchased these would have cost £i\2 gs. 6d. The list of titles is as follows:
