HERE never was a time when there were more books published in New York than are published there to-day. It is the duty of the daily newspaper to keep its readers informed of everything going on in the world of books and authors, and to advise them as to the merits and defects of current publications. The fashion nowadays is to give the news sugared over with indiscriminate praise. The

New York
Tribune

believes that its readers want the truth, not treacle. Its criticisms are thorough and candid.

An agent or broker is not expected to point out defects in his goods-his criticisms cannot be charged as wantonly harsh. And he, as a matter of course, devotes more pains to calling attention to that which is good than to dissecting and denouncing that which is not.

The New York Tribune's book reviews are prompt, constantly being based on advance sheets and thus providing immediate guidance for the intending purchaser.

Its literary news is fresh, comprehensive, and to the point. It prints all legitimate personalities about authors, but respects their privacy and the taste of its readers.

So if you want to know all about the new books, or if you are interested on any side of literature, read The Tribune all the year 'round. For subscription and advertising rates, address
