Accuracy and Efficiency

These are the distinctive characteristics of our
library service.

For many years we have conducted a special
department devoted to the interests of libraries,
which has been unusually successful in handling
LIBRARY ORDERS. Our facilities are unsur-
passed, as with our experience and our enormous
book stock-which is more complete and more
comprehensive than that of any other establish-
ment in the entire country, covering every branch
of literature and all grades of books-we are
enabled to make the fullest possible shipments with
the utmost despatch, and at the most satisfactory
prices.

PUBLIC LIBRARIES, SCHOOLS, COL-
LEGES and UNIVERSITIES find it to
their advantage to place their book orders
with us.

The attention of librarians is directed to the new
and enlarged form of our MONTHLY BULLETIN
OF NEW BOOKS. The brief annotations, de-
scriptions, or table of contents accompanying each
title, make this one of the most valuable aids to
intelligent book selection.

A Catalog of Selected Fiction

We have compiled from a number of accredited lists of fiction a very complete, and we believe a very satisfactory catalog. This catalog we purpose to publish in four standard editions, of 800, 1200, 1600 and 2000 titles, respectively.

Libraries desiring abridgements of any of the four regular editions will be supplied in lots of 1000 or more at the same prices as for stock editions. For special editions in which additions are required an extra charge per book is made. All editions are printed with or without Cutter Numbers.

The complete catalog, 2000 titles, with or without Cutter numbers, is now ready; also the edition of 800 titles, without Cutter numbers.

With Cutter numbers, 5x7%1⁄2 inches, 147 p.; without Cutter
numbers, 334x634 inches, 172 p. Single copies prepaid, 25c.
Quantity price furnished on application.

Our Clearance Catalogue contains overstock at special prices, and an alphabetical arrangement by authors of all cheap editions of Recent Popular Fiction and Standard Library 12mos in one list.

Our Library Catalogue of 3500 approved titles, following A. L. A. lines, is of great convenience to small libraries.

BOOKS FOR LIBRARIES

The Wanamaker 3ook Stores in Philadelphia and New York do a combined book business almost double that of any other concern in the trade.

This accounts for the extraordinary purchases of remainders of editions that the Wanamaker organization is constantly securing. It is why LIBRARIES can secure through the Wanamaker stores, splendid editions of standard and recent books at very much lower prices than are possible elsewhere.

ANY BOOK EXTANT is here or will be secured, if obtainable anywhere. BOOK CATALOGUE. All inquiries given careful and expert attention.
