. .. EXPLANATORY INTRODOCTIOI

• This list of authors and titles ~s offered to American public libraries hoping that it may be of some aid to them 1D rep~acing fiction. Of the making of lists for librarians there is no end, and the only justification for another is that the book world (the world of fiction 1n particular) moves at such an accelerated rate of speed that authors are out of favor, or their books are out of print almost before the ink dries on the latest list. The editors of this particular list have been at consider­ able pains to compare editions and verify prices, but there is no doubt that by the t1me it is first used, some parts or it will have become out of date. Nor is this its only defect. It has been the intention of the Committee to give 1n brief compass the most frequently replaced

• of worth-while titles 1n the best and cheapest editions in print • It is obvious that 1manimi ty could not be obtained, because the same titles are not replaced in all libraries with equal frequency, and no two individuals are so like minded that they will agree on the authors to be excluded. It was necessary to take up a position, however, and this placed the final responsibility for selection on the Committee. Its conception of worth-while authors may not (and unquestionably will not) be that of the various users of the list. But the Committee believes that most of the titles will be replaced with frequency by a good many of America's public libraries. Those titles which they customarily buy, but which they look for in vain on the list, they may continue to purchase without sense of sin, for this list is tenet only, and not dogma. It should be borne 1n mind, moreover, that the best of titles, 1t replaced only once in two or three years, will not necessarily be found here. In short, the purpose or the list is not to select the best fiction, but to aid the order department 1n finding quickly the edition best suited for frequent replacement • • To discover such titles the Committee has drawn upon the experience or a ru1mber of public libraries situated 1n dirferent parts of the country. A tentative list, .to serve as a basis for

Too many established works or merit are priced at $2.50 or $3.00, and the new price level, in effect since 1931, has not been reflected, as yet, 1n many publishers' back lists.

It may Pe suggested tnat the stze or the Modern rcnde~~· serl@~ (7t"x4!") be used as the dividing line between series that ~an and cannot be recommended. Certain series were excluded becau~e of the low grade or the materials used 1n their manufacture. Paper, ink and binding materials are concerned here. On the whole, only a small group offends for these reasons. The paper and ink used in the making ot books 1n this country justify little c1·iticlsm but bihding is almost universally bad, and there is consequently no alternative but to rebind early in an attractive and permanent form. In the matter of typography we have a much more difficult problem to face. If, in reading, we begin to realize that the type of the book in hand is tiring to the eye, we are likely to assume that the type is too large, or, more frequently, too small. This is indeed often the case, yet such fa~ts as inadequate leading between the lines or the illegibility of the particular type face employed, are the true contributing causes of eye­ atrain. Fortunately, contemporary typographic practice is almost
