PAGE SIX THESE DAYS | R B gt Switchier says “Calvert Always Tastes Better!”| cEorar E. sokoLsky B ERra i I ‘have been puzzled for some ‘| time about the report of American publishers to push their books in Europe and the association -of EOA funds to make exchange availbale. And just as I was getting into the matter, my interest was diverted to best sellers. So, I went to Robert F. de Graff, who runs a series of 5-cent books called Pocket Books. I did not select him for any other reason than that I felt the door was open to me there to discover what I wanted. I suppose other publishers could have given me the same or similar data. What I want to point to is this list of “best séllers ) { “I don’t know | much about how key is made,” dward J. Groves, “but I do| know this: Calvert always tastes better to me. That's why I switched—that’s i, western Germany and Hollamd: why Ul stay switched. “The Merriam-Webster “Pocket CALVERT RESERVE Blended Whiske§ Dictionary —86.8 Proof—657% Grain Neutral Spirits The Song of Bernadette Calvert Distillers Corp., New York Clt| e Good Earth The Triangie Cleaners Spots hefore your eyes? You got ‘'em We cure ‘em O i “for better appearance” THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA The Egg And I The Pocket Book of Short Stor- ies Madame Curie Shakespeare’s Four Great Tra- gedies The Pocket Book of Old Mast- ers The The Stories Anna and the King of Siam Famous Artists and their Models Moby Dick A Tale of Two Cities Sea Wolf Pocket Book of Advenure s Marner A Connecticut Yankee In Kitg Arthur's Court The Postman Twice.” This is an astonishing list £wd shows how hungry these people are for books. Of course, they cannot spend too much money for books in their present financial state; however, up to December 31, 1949, ECA has made availa®e $2,823,201 in exchange contracts for beoks, magazines, newspapers and motion pictures. Of this amount, $1,163,539 has gone to movies, which is a comparatively small amount considering their huge appeal to the less literate. The exchange guarantees for books have run: Western Germany $588,130 Netherlands 68,000 Austria 542 Italy 35,375 Total $692,047 The largest exporter of American books is the Nassau Distributing Company, a group of American publishers mainly of scientific and technical books. They have sent over $200,000 of such bkooks. In fact, the total of technieal, scien- tific and medical books is much higher in dollar value, than gen- | eral books. This picture may seem tco re- fingd; true, some of the books that | Always Rings | | “The Guldbergs” and Milton Berle | private eyes, etc. I cannot get #¢- cited about that. People will read what they like, if they are free, and who am I to tell them not |to read what I do? For instance. I interrupt myself from Engel's intreduction to Marx’s “The Class Siruggles In France 1848-50" to| read a private eye piece by Erle Stanley Gardner, Does it make sense? Sure! 1 was weary of ponderosity. I want- ed make-believe. So do they over there, Life is so tough in theory |that a bit of coarse realism helps| |to tide over the absurdities of our generation. That is why there is a revival of Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy; that is why| are more attractive on television | | than Mrs. Roosevelt—or am I in| the same category? Yet, to offset “escape” literature | is this amazing list of best sellers,| which is evidence of a hunger for good things. Pocket Books sold| during the period under consider- ation $125,000 of books under the ECA contract and a dictionary tops the list! During the same period, their five best sellers in the United States were: The Case of the Empty Tin, Erle Stanley Gardner Tales of the Haunted Husband, Erle Stanley Gardner Tales of the South Pacific, James A. Michener The D. A. Calls A Turn, Stanley Gardner The D. A. Cooks A Goose, Erle ! Stanley Gardner. Of course, the comparison proves | nothing, which is true of most| comparisons. In this case, the 25- cent books are bought for occas- ional rcading, but I often wonder how many of the so-called “think” hocks are just bought without be- ing read. From table’ conversation, it might often be inferred that | many bookbuyers only read the first ten pages; then they turn to a maguzine with lots of pictures. They seem to know the latter ‘m‘ Efls | go over deal with murder, sex, greater detail. ——————————————————————————————— DR. ROBERT SIMPSON DR.
