Here at last are the books America has been longing for.
Designed by America’s foremost book designer — well
printed—handsomely bound in a special English-finish
cover paper. At a price which has brought long, loud ap
plause from every section of the country—25c for a full-
length noveL
These great book bargains are made possible only be
cause leading book publishers and authors are accepting a
low royalty, because the books are printed on special high
speed presses in quantities of 100.000, and because THE
AMERICAN MERCURY—America’s leading literary mag
azine—has launched the enterprise without charging any
overhead or editorial expense to it.
To date we have published 4 books—all distributed
through the better newsstands of America.
♦ COMPANY K—“ An extraordinarily moving and an im
portant book” —Saturday Review of Literature.
♦ THIRTEEN STEPS—a powerful, startling novel paced
by breathless action and a strange love story.
♦ EVERYTHING IS TH UN HER—described by O. O. Mc
Intyre as "the most absorbing book I’ve read in five
5 -ears.”
♦ THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE—described
by the famous F. P. A. as “ the most engrossing, un-
I.aydownable book that I have any memory of.”

with the books, use the coupon below for these great bar
