PUBLISHERS’ NOTE
There is expressed in these chapters so much that is practical and of interest to those engaged in the various branches of authorship, book-making and book-selling that the present publishers have availed themselves of the permission of the Boston Transcript, in which they originally appeared, to gather them together in book form.
New York, March, 1905.
