Book excerpt: Excerpt from Buying List of Books for Small Libraries As the following list is intended merely as an aid in buying, regular cataloging rules have not been followed. It should there fore not be used as a guide for the form of the author's name. When there is a choice, the best known form of the author's name or a well-known pseudonym is used. In this edition there is no change from the character of the first list. The same general arrangement is retained and in most cases the same subject headings used. Every class is thoroughly revised and while there is a slight increase in the number of titles in sociology, science, useful arts and amusements, it results in a net increase of but 78 titles in the entire list. The fewest changes are in the list of children's books. One or two good inexpensive editions of standard books are added and some of the strikingly good stories of the past two years included. In a small library it is not important to buy the very latest child's story. To buy the best must be the aim of a library in the purchase of its children's books.

Download or read book List of Editions Selected for Economy in Book Buying Classic Reprint written by Le Roy Jeffers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Editions Selected for Economy in Book Buying The list of books here presented is not suggested on account of its literary value for use as a basis of book selection by libraries, but it consists of popular titles which are published in more than one edition. It is a list of low-priced editions in publisher's covers that are of suitable type and paper for library use. For brevity, titles are usually omitted that are desirable to purchase only in the original copyright edition, as this edition can readily be found in the American and United States catalogues; or, if out of print in America, a similar priced edition may often be found in the English cata logue. In a few instances two editions are listed both being recommended for purchase. The collected works of an author are given when there is a choice of editions, and when all the volumes are issued by the same publisher at a uniform price per volume, and are sold separately. Prominent title's contained in these sets are listed separately to call attention to editions desirable to purchase. Poetry is usually listed as Poetical Works. In order to establish a uniform basis for cost comparison and selection of editions, the lowest rates usually offered by dealers Were assumed. Higher proportionate rates will not greatly alter the choice of editions. On American net books appearing in this list, 163? To 25 per cent discount from the published prices; on all others listed as regular by the publishers, 40 per cent discount; on Dillingham, Fenno, Revell, and Grosset listed at 28 per cent discount was allowed. On the popular priced series of Lippincott, Little, Page, Scribner, and Winston listed at $0. 75; on those published by Burt at and 5; on those issued by Crowell at discounts of from 50 per cent to 64 per cent were considered. On English publications, imported free of duty for library use, per net shilling and per regular shilling were allowed. It should be remembered that a list of this character is subject to frequent change as new and better low-priced editions are published.

Download or read book A Thousand Books for the Hospital Library written by Edith Kathleen Jones and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Thousand Books for the Hospital Library: Selected From the Shelf-List of the Library of McLean Hospital, Waverley, Massachusetts The editors offer this list merely as a guide towards the selection of wholesome, readable literature for those who are ill either physically or mentally. While it has been compiled with the requirements of the latter class of patients in mind, it would seem no less suitable for the former, or, in fact, for any small library which desires only bright, wholesome, interesting books. It aims to suggest fresh titles for libraries already established, and not wholly to provide a buying list for the formation of new libraries. In making this list the editors have endeavored to keep in mind the following points: 1. Books in a hospital are for recreation, not for instruction, and therefore should consist principally of fiction, picture-books, travel, biography, light and popular science and out-door books. 2. They must be wholesome - not morbid, or gruesome, or depressing. Good detective stories and tales of adventure, however thrilling, if not horrible, and if they do not make vice attractive, are to be recommended, as they, more than almost anything else, hold the attention. 3. Illustrated books and book of pictures are invaluable, as a patient often will look at pictures when he is too ill to read. 4. The newest fiction is called for and read, yet the old favorites remain much in demand. With so much ephemeral stuff among the "best sellers," it is a delicate task to select the really good novels which will last, and there is a great temptation to fall back on the old and tried books to the exclusion of the more modern. The editors have tried to combine the two in just proportion, and also to give a few titles of the better class of the "second rate" which have proved popular. 5. It is not enough to provide books for those who wish to read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
