GOOD READERS IN AMERICA
• Kind words from abroad are not
too common to be welcomed by
Americans. We are grateful to a
London publisher, recently arrived in
the United States, who has seen fit
te say that American readers are
bbtter buyers of good books than his
own countrymen. It appears, too,
tfiat he is talking about books of as-
siired literary worth, rather than
about best sellers.
"If a book is a thoroughly first-
rate piece of work," he says, "good
enough to sell 500 copies in England,
it will oiten sell 1,000 copies or bet
ter in America.’1
Of course, America is several
times as large ae England, in popula
tion as well as in area. It ought to
buy and read more copies of a good
book than England. But even if the
visiting publisher's praise is rather
faint, the fact remains that the
reading public is gaining in numbers
and is asking on the whole for pret
ty good reading matter. Regardless
of what other countries are doinfe.
our librarians tell us that their book
circulation is steadily increasing year
by year, and that the books in de
mand are not all trash by any means.
Books on poetry, science, pbilisopby,
fiction, history, drama, religion, all
show a growing throng of readers.
Book stories, too, tind no dearth of
customers who seek the belter books.
Trash is written in great abun
dance, and is read by nundreds of
thousands of copies, but it will never
choke out the truly great human
writings that exist now or will be
written.
