What We Say to Sell the Book. 



When we first offered this book to the public a few years ago, we described it as "the most com- 

 plete, concise and convenient work of its kind published ; — a guide book for beginners, a text book 

 for learners, a reference book for working poultrymen and women." Today it is all this, and more. 

 It is everywhere recoprnized as the standard work on practical poultry keeping, and a book which it 

 is necessary for the intelligent, progressive poultry keeper to have. 



Publishing such a book to sell at the price which the cost of getting it up required for a first 

 edition^ was a good deal of an experiment, for the book had to be sold in competition with hurriedly 

 written pamphlets or hasty compilations advertised as exhaustive volumes, and sold at a small 

 fraction of the price of Poultrt-Craft. But the volume of sales has steadily increased as the people 

 found out that, though high-priced, as poultry books go, it was worth the money. Now, with the 

 costly first edition all soldj and the reputation of the book such that it costs us less to sell it than at 

 the outset, we are in a position to offer Poultby-Craft at a popular price, and with the issue of the 

 second edition the price is cut to £1.50 per copy, postage prepaid, making it the best value ever 

 offered buyers of poultry books. 



We do not think it necessary to dilate on the merits of the book, but wish here to briefly em- 

 phasize a few points : — It gives the gist of itoultry knowledge iu plain laugui^e for people who want 

 plain facta, practical ideas and trustworthy opinions. It tells what to do, why to do it, and how to 

 do it. It covers its subject thoroughly, and its systematic arrangement and full index enable one to 

 refer in an instant to any topic. It is the hand book of poultry culture for busy people. 



What They Say Who Have Read the Book. 



"It is clear, concise, and intensely practical." 



"I find it exactly answers my inquiries, and does so in a clear, concise way." 



"It is clearly, fully, and yet briefly written, and treats of conditions and facts as they are." 



"There is no padding or filling. With everything essential it contains nothing superfluous." 



"Such a wealth of concise information we have never before seen gathered in a single volume." 



"It would be hard to think of any object of interest which has not been considered in these p^ea." 



"The advice is practical, and the style is so good that one wants to read it through at one sitting." 



We could go on vrith such quotations almost indefinitely, but why repeat ? Readers unanimously 

 indorse the claims made for it by the publishers. Already in the few years it has laeen before the 

 public it has helped hundreds to decide right how, when and where to go into poultry keeping ; has 

 taught thousands better methods of poultry keeping ; and has come to be generally recognized as a 

 trustworthy authority on poultry culture.
