Greatest Jhrill . : 8 AN FRANCISCO, The great est thrill that comes to a publish er is to see. a good; book; after be ing snubbed early in life, finally with the passing years begin gain ing recognition through . sheer merit from' discerning readers. So believes Alexander Robert son, who 1 has devoted : fifty-six years of his life to the business, and he gives as the basic reason for the thrill tbV fact that the publisher's literarjr judgement Is verified and a deserving author reaps reward In faime. - - y A good book, in hIS"oplnion, eventually will win its place al though., ten. twenty-five or even a hundred 6rs may pass. Publishing' Jthel works of un known authors is a 'personal weakness" in which Robertson has indulged. It Is said of him that he never refuses t publish a book with sufficient merit out of fear it might not sell. Edwin Markhain's "Man "With the Hoe"; George; Sterling's "The Testimony of thej Suns", and "A Wine of Wizardry"; works of Joaquin Miller, Elavid . Starr Jor don. Ambrose Bierce -and many others received first publication at the good offices o Robertson.
