Little, Brown & Co., the publishers, tell me they do not recall any story that so quickly jumped into popu- larity. Published August 12 last, with an advance sale of 8,600 copies, this Boston house within five months had sent to press a 25th printing of the novel, totaling 265,000 copies. Now eight presses are run- ning day and night and three binding establishments are busy turning out copies to meet the mounting de- mand. Total sales are expected to reach a million. Within the last few weeks “If Winter Comes” has become the leader in popularity in the Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane public libraries, and in the book stores of all the Northwest cities. The writer is A. S. M. Hutchinson, whose “Once Aboard the Lugger—,” “The Happy Warrior” and “The Clean Heart” have had a wide vogue in England. “If Winter Comes” Is Story of Mark | Sabre, Character as Real as You His new book tells the story of Mark Sabre, an Eng- lishman of unusual personality. The latter is ruggedly honest, kindly democratic, likable, but whose lines of reasoning and action often evoke the disapproval of his self-centered, snobbish wife and the narrow, opinionated partners of the business house with which he is asso- ciated. Sabre is the kind of a character who will live. will others that figure in Hutchinson's pages. subject Dr. Frank Crane recently wrote: “T have no doubt that the year 1921 will be known to the next generation as the year when Mark Sabre was born. *.°.* “Mark Sabre is going to be as real to me as long as I live as any man I have ever known in the flesh. “For there are two sorts of inhabitants in this world: (1) book people, (2) flesh people. And so On this |Novel Starts Off in Leisurely Fashion But Reaches Astonishing Climax “The second kind is a more or less developed animal, the first is a pure spiritual creation. “For instance, these people just as really inhabit the earth as President Harding or Jack Dempsey; these people—Pantagruel, Don Quixote, Wilhelm Meister, Jean Valjean, Micawber, Little Lord Fauntleroy, Becky Sharp and Uriah Heep. “These are the true immortals that walk among us, and I have a strong suspicion that Mark Sabre belongs to that company. * * “My hat is off to Writer Hutchinson.” The novel starts off in leisurely fashion, but about midway develops a speed of action that amazes and enthralls the reader. The book is one that The Star is intensely proud to publish. I hope that hundreds of thousands of Seattle and other Pacific Northwest cit- izens will follow it thru our columns, and I feel certain _that they will.
