No. 7, Glenn]; Sen Street Court will Secretary It publishers, by reducing the price of i their books to a dollar a copy to the. reader, can publish twice as many' books, they will make considerably less , money than they make now, which is ‘ not a great deal. In fact they will lose a half cent a book. But if they will sell three times as many books they will make more money than they now make I and everybody else connected with the industry, from the author to the grad- uate chemist. will make more. We have I always thought the publishing business rather a curious one. operated. upon strictly original principles. and this would seem to prove it. This calcula- tion has been made by Franklin Spier. who is in the book business as a sales- man and advertising promoter, and he expounds his opinions in the New York World. The innovation of the publish- ers who have announced the price re- duction is a striking one. It means not a reduction of 10 to 15 per cent. which we are growing accustomed to in motor car prices, but a cut from $2.50 or $2. It is one of the most drastic moves made in. many a day in any important NEW BOOKS AT $1 MAY REVOLUTIONIZE TRADE industry. At present only four leading Ameri-‘ can publishers are involved. But the others will be obliged to follow suit if the innovation succeeds. and. if they take no action until it definitely sucv- ceeds or fails they are likely to do little business in the meantime. Of course. *the firms that have the rights to the work of the mos popular writers need not be unduly distressed since to most pe0ple. we suppose. the authorship of a book is the really important thing' I about it. A man who wants to read a , f0! novel by Wells or Dreiser is not likely ° to read a novel by Ethel M. Dell or Edgar Wallace instead just because it.m< happens to be offered at half the price. lSt' So while existing contracts remain the ‘Vii sellers who have the big guns among 61" the authors will be in rather an im-- ‘VC‘ pregnable position. But when these. Gt contracts run out when new novels are th written how will the stand-pat houses 56‘ ’fare? If the authors learn. that theyida will make more money by having their 1 d2 books sell at a dollar than at $2.50. will «20 they choose the larger price. the smal- ‘eC‘ ler profit and the fewer readers? ‘a'l in The Gulf Between ‘ Not believing that these questions re- -M quire any serious answer we feel safe,I in predicting that if the dollar booklN idea succeeds with the innovators. it ‘1‘ will be generally adopted by the others. l”- The great question to be settled is‘l whether the sale of books can be tripled IW or quadrupled. If they can merely be i: doubled this simply means that the ,â€" publishers will be ruined. One mightl liken their plight to that of e. skater on i thin ice. making at all speed for the. I short. But between the thin ice of an! ‘ inconsiderable profit at $2 and the se-l l curity of a sound profit at $1 there‘s , looms the hole in the water called at double output. If the skater can leapl . the chasm he is safe: if not he was! t f " it is to be noted .that the thin ice has been giving off aarming chackles in the i e past three or four years. Everybody has been complaining. readers be cause books are too expensive. authors' '. because profits are too small. publishers because the interest on invested capital i uneconomic and the bookseller be- cause sales are falling off. Drug and Cigar Store Books Of late years the phenomenon has been noted of cigar stores and drug. stores entering the realms of literature ' with great assurance and proceeding to sell books at what appeared to the SS casual buyer s reduced prices. As a matter of fact. the prices are not lower er in these upstart emporiums than in the e, department stores and the ordinary bookshops. F.P.A.. the New York col- 2r. umnist. suggests that books get into the drug stores only when they become a drug on the market. For the most part. ‘1‘ the books sold far below original prices in any stores are books that the pub- .ta lisher has despairecl of getting rid of at any other price. In still other words. 3- the books. as a rule. are utter rubbish 81'. which are dear at any price. Still as a mtter of physical necessity they must “Q be moved from the shelves or garbage wean. 1;:â€" vof the general public . and they are therefore offered at prices best cal- culated to get them there in a great The Profit on 3 Volume But these cut rates have revealed the existence of a new clw of buyer. namely the man or woman who will buy a book because it is cheap. not be- ] LI- .1. ~“J '- cause it is a book. It is believed that there are millions in this class and that they can be hooked with dollar books. It is surely worth trying es- pecially since. according to Mr. Spier. the costs of a $2 book of which 3,000 copies are sold are as follows: Retail price of book. ..................... $200 Received from booksellers ............ 1.20 Manufacturing cost: . Author’s royalty ........ . ....... .20 Printing and. binding ...... .40 General expense: Overhead .............................. .10 Advertising and selling .30 Publishers’ profit ....................... .20 It will be admitter that nobody he makes an excessive profit unless it is the bookseller. and as pointed out he is being chased by drug stores and cigar stores with their cut rate and their better opportunities to make sales. since a good many more people enter a drug store or a cigar store in the course of the day than enter a book. store. Our own bolshevik idea is that ”NOV. â€"- v . what is chiefly the matter with the publishing business is that it turns out too much stuff that should not be pub- lished at all; that a great deal of its expenditure is, therefore waste. We put the idea in another way: Can any- one imegine a publisher or a bookseller losing money if he published the works May Revolutionize Trade v.5“. â€"â€"'â€"â€"--- motored up {1165) Toronto and spent the week-end here.
