People Want Better Books
The information disclosed by a bookseller as to the kind
of books which were most in demand for Christmas pres
ents will bo gratifying, to all who desire to see good taste
cultivated in popular literature, .It is stated that the best,
tellers arc not trashy novels of the type which formerly
;ied in sales, and that the' beautifully bound and printed
but rather empty "gilt books" which once were popular,
are not wanted now; customers instead are calling1 for
thoughtful fiction of the better sort, for works on travel,
and especially for looks dealing with history and biography.
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. ,
