And go to ’t with delight.”— A xlony and Cleopatra 
An Important Announcement 
On January 1, 1909, Doubleday, Page & Company begin their 
ninth year of business; and it happens just at this time that 
we purchased the entire book business of the McClure Com- 
pany and will hereafter issue all the volumes formerly published 
by that company (except the Burton Holmes Travelogues), as well 
as the new works already announced by them. 
Mr. S. S. McClure, who built up this fine list, including 245 
writers and 411 separate titles, representing many of our best 
modern authors, wishes to devote all his time to McClure’s 
Magazine. While we count ourselves most fortunate in being able 
to add this important and very active list to our own, we are 
equally pleased to be able to say that we shall have Mr. McClure’s 
help in securing new writers, and the codperation of his great 
magazine, which has always had among its contributors authors of 
fame and distinction. 
The responsibility of doing justice to these writers whose work has 
come to us we deeply appreciate; and our enlarged staff, including 
the active men of the McClure book department, hope and expect to 
do the large list of books full justice. 
A very partial and much abbreviated list of those whose works 
are known on both sides of the Atlantic, and whom we now have the pleasure and honor of serving, includes the following names:

With a catalogue of more than 500 authors we feel that we have a good start toward building up a business which will help to extend 
the market for both the bookseller and ourselves. 
together a collection which our friends will regard as worthy of high publishing ideals. 
We wish to publish books of quality rather than merely a large number, and to bring
