The Literary Year Book And Bookmans Directory 1900 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Literary Year-Book and Bookman's Directory, 1901 The literary year-book for 1901 needs little in the way of introduction from its Editor. Those who are responsible for its production have been gratified by the fact that the issue for 1900 was greeted with kind ness. Imperfections were, as a rule, gently and fairly dealt with. The difficulties of my task were generally taken into consideration, and the limitations placed upon me borne in mind. The volume cannot, at present, be indefinitely extended. The adoption of the many suggestions received would involve a heavy increase. Such, for instance, is the excellent proposal that there should be given, in addi tion to the book of the year credited to each author in its place, one book at least - a representative book written in a previous year. As matters stand, this cannot be undertaken for 1901. It is contemplated, however, for 1902. Those who are interested in this volume are reminded that the production, at a moderate price (and this is essential), of a work of reference which cannot in any case appeal to a large class of people is a difficult matter.
