This is a new edition, just as complete as the old one, which still sells, by the way, at $50.00. This new edition is only $25.00—for the 25 volumes. It had been Mark Twalin’s ambition to have his books in every American home, and he made a great personal sacrifice to bring about this remarkable opportunity—for the first time in the history of publishing, copyrighted books are sold at the price of non-copyrighted books—the chiance wiil not come again.
