Per Volume, The International Association has been organized to familiarize readers with and thoroughly popularize in every English-speaking coun- try the best works of the most famous authors of both America and England at the close of the 19th century. One newspaper will represent it in each of the leading American cities to make this unusual distribu- tion. ‘The World was selected as the newspaper to make the plan public for New York and the surround- ing districts. Each of the American and English authors will be represented by a famous book, hitherto pub- lished at $1.0 to $1.50, but which will now be published for and sold at a merely nominal price, 25 cents per volume—only sufficient to cover the actual cost of production in editions of unusual proportions in fine cloth binding. What the Library Will Be. In the production of the volumes which will con- stitute this great library of fiction, no expense has been spared; in fact no reasonable expense can matter when divided among the volumes of an edition of such magnitude. The books will go direct from the book- binders to John Wanamaker for delivery to readers and subscribers of The World and will be obtainable from no other sources. The volumes will be uniform in size, quality and general style, each having, how- ever, an artistic and appropriate cover design of its own. In size they are what is known as square 12mos, altogether the most popular book-form at the present day. The type used in this edition averages “long primer” (the type you are now reading); it is easy to read and beautifully paged and with ample margins. The paper is of fine quality, equal to that used in the usual $1.50 books; the ink is the best and the presswork {s done carefully and skilfully. The volumes average 300 pages each. The bindings are something new tn book-making—with patent thread sewing—whereby the same effect is obtained as in the famous cross- stitch of the Oxford Teachers’ Bibles, so that the books can be opened full width and bent back until the covers meet without straining. The covers are of art linen cloth, in delicate tints, embossed {n inks. The volumes are dainty In appearance and thoroughly worthy in quality throughout. Allof the Books Are Copy- righted Here and Abroad. The contract with each author calls only for the Surrenaer of royalties while this distribution is in Progress. At the end of that time the plates must be handed over to the author's representative, that the regular price, instead of 25 cents, mav thereafter be charged and the author's royalties and his or her pub- lisher's profits secured on any further editions. city Readers SECURE the Volumes for 25 cents each and one voucher at the Wanamaker Store. when ordering, and bring or send same to Bound in Cloth, Embossed in Inks from Original Designs and Similar to REGULAR $1.25 BOOKS, 25 Cents Ready Go-day AT THE Wanamaker a Store aA ttl Matty 2 > Order this Book To-day. At least one week will be especially devoted to each author, Tinis week, the first, will be known as “Paul Leicester Ford Week,” and each week succeeding will be known by the name of the author whose book then makes its appearance. During each of these weeks the supply of the ‘book of the week” will be practically unlimited, but after the week has besn passed there is liable to be a scarcity caused by the after demand, which will probably far outrun the allotment, so that each subscriber or reader of The World should during each week comply with the conlitions and bring or send 25c. to John Wanamaker with the desired author's voucher cut from the advertisement. When this distribution ends, the full: price must thereafter be paid to the author’s publisher for the regular edition, which will then be published. Owing to the extraordinary facilities required to serve the public promptly the Association has made arrangements with The Wanameaker Store, New York, to make the distribution, both atthe store and by mail, All orders by mail will be filled at 30 cents, which includes postage, but mail orders will be received for local delivery in the city at 25 cents, News of the plan will appear constantly in The New York World but as the distribution in New York is limited (as explained above), prompt action is necessary. the attention of the public to this distribution. No sales will be made to dealers or speculators. s i Paul Leicester Ford Week. The Authors Whose Famous Works Will Appear in the Distribution _Are as Follows: FIRST SECTION. READY TO-DAY.

The editions are very large, but they are for the whole English-speaking world, and must be evenly and fairly distributed, as there will be no other at the spe- cial price. Noone city can be favored over another, as that would defeat the object of the Association. As the demand will unquestionably far exceed the supply, it has been decided to allot to each city pro-rata, ac- cording to the daily circulation of the newspapers se- lected to make it known through advertising. The only way to be certain of securing all the volumes is to order promptly each week. Prompt action insures a saving of many dollars.
