Discrimination in Advertising

The present high cost of general newspaper advertising is causing publishers to exercise great discrimination in the selection of media for their advertisements. The problem of deciding which journals to use to secure maximum results at minimum cost is becoming more acute with every increase in advertising rates.

The monthly table shows that publishing has been marked by a crescendo throughout the year, culminating in great activity during the final three months. The old Spring season" is not nearly so marked as it was a few years back, while the Autumn and Winter season is more prominent. The figures for the last few months may also contain a promise for next year, but it is impossible to tell with certainty.

66

Further detailed information regarding the year's publishing is supplied by the appended analytical tables. It should be noted that Education includes only books about educational theory and practice, and not text-books on special subjects which are classed under their subjects; and that all publications of 48 pages or less are counted as " pamphlets." It would be possible to swell the totals to an enormous extent by counting all kinds of printed matter (such as ephemeral pamphlets and leaflets, local government publications, musical texts, &c.), but the purpose of this table is, to represent the book publishing activity of the United Kingdom. This should be noted in comparing the figures with those of other countries, in some of which single copies of newspapers

On Tuesday, January 6th, Messrs. John Long will issue an entirely new long novel by Mr. Nat Gould, entitled" Racing Rivals.' It is now for the first time published in volume form, 256 pages, foolscap 8vo., at the extremely low price of Is. 6d. net, bound in boards and banded in attractive three-colour dust wrapper. Mr. Nat Gould is the author whose sales now exceed twenty million copies and, needless to say, the publishers have prepared a very large first impression of this novel.

A volume of studies entitled "Indian Nationality," which aims at setting forth the fundamental facts of Indian social, religious and political life, and their bearing on Indian responsible Government, has been written by Mr. R. N. Gilchrist, M.A., Principal and Professor of Political Economy and Political Philosophy, Krishnagar College, Bengal, and will shortly be published by Messrs. Longmans. Professor Ramsay Muir has contributed an introduction in which he says, there never was a time when English readers or Indian readers stood more in need of the help which such a book can give."

Messrs. Chapman & Hall, Ltd., have just published Mr. Harold Bayley's new work, Archaic England: An Essay in Deciphering Pre-history from Megalithic Monuments, Earthworks, Customs, Coins. Place Names and Faerie Superstitions.' It is the most interesting result of many years of research, extending to over 9co royal 8vo. pages, with over 600 illustrations in a handsome cloth binding, for all which the price-25s. net-is most moderate. We hope to have some account of it in an early issue of the P.C. In the meantime we can recommend booksellers who have customers interested in archaeology to make a note of it. Mr. Bayley does not make dogmatic claims to be a law-giver about the numberless interesting matters he deals with, but there is a very refreshing courage about his opinions, he is not at all awed by authority, and in this respect is, no doubt, prepared for criticism.
