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.
