S Less attention is being given to binding and more to content. Several reasons are advanced for the change. One Is that books cost so much more now than they used to that people.no longer feel ashamed to choose them for Christmas gifts. A lew years ago, the bookseller stales, Vvhcn it was possible to buy a book for about a dollar, there were those who feared they would bo considered nig i gardly if they spent no more than that on a present; thoro .foro, they demanded the expensive leather-bound "gift books." Bui now that a novel costs $2.00 and non-fiction as a rule two or three times that much, there is no longer that feeling. j , Non-fiction is selling as well as novels. This may be attributed to the fact that the war and the succeeding . .events have broadened the average American's outlook on Jife and the world; at least that accounts in some degree ; ior the demand for books treating of general history and the lives of statesmen. Whatever the causes are for the improvement of popu lar literary taste, it is to be welcomed as evidence of the spreading of intelligence. , ru HAD ro GET OUT THE.
