Simon & Shuster. New York. 81 euch
NHE CRISIS in the book world has
P taxed the ingenuity of publishers who
have been contending with the high
cost of labor und of paper as well as with
the competition of reprints. Large produc¬
tion is not possible without a demand, and
readers of books are not as easily influenced
by advertising as the rest of the nation.
In order to tap new fields and stimulate
the demand, the Inner Sanctum novels are
now published in paper covers, the size and
quality of paper and print being in no way
inferior to formerly more expensive books.
Apart from Schnitzler’s clever novel based
on an episods of the life of Casanova,
which is a reprint of a book now unob¬
tainable, all of the books offered in this
series are new to the public.
Red Snow“ is the imaginative story of
the last human being. We are in August,
1935, and a red snow covers America and
Europe. Then follows the cessation of
births, years of horror, madness, massacres
and conflicts of all kinds. At the end only
one man is left alive.
In The Earth Told Me,“ Mr. Williamson
has written a novel of Northwestern Alaska,
in which he duplicates his achievement of
Hunky' which brought him fame in the
last year. His main characters are again
of the primitive type, so difficult to repro¬
duce with any accuracy and real under¬
standing before our eyes. The herder of
reindeer, his wife and the third person
stand in powerful light on the simple basis
of Mother Earth.
These books are uniform in size, smart
in appearance, and can be easily bound in
different colors for those who like the so¬
phistication of distinctive shelves.

The defendants, Richard L. Simon
