Reserve Your Copy 
Although we are increasing the edition of House 
& Garden every month, we can’t seem to print 
enough for all the people who want to buy it. 
Month after month this fall we have had letters 
from readers who say plaintively that they have 
missed such-and-such a number because it was 
"all sold out” early in the month. 
IVe are sorry if you have been disappointed. 
But may House & Garden suggest that there is 
a simple way to make sure of your copy? 
Reserve it at the newsstand now. 
T his House Building Number is one of the most import¬ 
ant issues of the year—in fact, an all-important number to 
everybody who has a house or is intending to build a house. 
It has been planned with particular design to help you make a 
house that will satisfy you in every detail. For months House 
& Garden’s editors have been gathering plans and devices, ma¬ 
terials and methods, photographs and drawings of the gracious, 
the charming, the unusual home, for reproductions in this 
February issue. 
Far afield to the West Indies, beyond the Sierras to California, 
back to the quaint Dutch Colonial houses of Pennsylvania 
and the trim white homesteads of the New England hills. 
House & Garden’s editors have searched for ideas for you. 
Indeed, they have even abstracted a castle or two from Spain. 
You will find the February House Building Number full of in¬ 
valuable advice and suggestion.
