THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



HE BOOKS which Doubleday, Page & Company have to announce for the 

 spring season we believe are worthy of both careful attention and a large sale. 

 There are less than thirty books to be published from now to mid- 

 summer, and these volumes represent a selection from more than a thousand 

 manuscripts and scores of plans suggested by others or originated by our- 

 selves. A publisher's duty is to get the greatest possible market for each book and 

 with that in mind the list is kept small. 



No adequate account of a book is possible, we have come to think, in an advertise- 

 ment; if we can stimulate an interest to see the volume, the bookseller must do the rest. 

 But we want to reach individuals and communities where there are no booksellers and 

 people who do not go to bookstores, therefore our " On Approval " system. It will be a 

 pleasure to send any of the books mentioned to private buyers, with the understanding that 

 they are to be paid for after examination and returned if not wanted. The only proviso 

 that in remitting expense of carriage must be added on net books only.
