BOOK DEPARTMENT

During the last two years we have issued the following new books:— GCB April 9, 1901, page 165.13

1. “Heralds of the Morning,” by A. O. Tait. This is an illustrated subscription book of 280 pages, treating upon the signs of the times and the coming of the Lord. Forty thousand copies have been printed at this office, and the Review and Herald has printed both German and English editions. GCB April 9, 1901, page 165.14

2. “Desire of Ages,” by Mrs. E. G. White. Besides the regular subscription edition, three new styles of this valuable book have been prepared: (a) An edition without illustrations to be sold to the trade; (b) A popular edition with narrow margins, to sell for $2.50; (c) An installment edition, printed on enameled book paper, with wide margins, issued in twenty-five parts with paper covers. This is our Edition de Luxe, and is to be sold especially to the wealthy in our large cities. GCB April 9, 1901, page 165.15

3. “Christ’s Object Lessons,” by Mrs. E. G. White. This is an illustrated subscription book of about 450 pages, and is so well known that it needs no further description. All understand that this book is being printed and sold without profit to anyone. All the proceeds go toward liquidating the debt on our educational institutions. The Pacific Press Publishing Company has agreed to manufacture, free of charge, 150,000 copies of this book, which means a donation of about $15,000 to our educational institutions. We have already printed 40,000 copies, and another edition of 20,000 is now on the press. GCB April 9, 1901, page 166.1

4. “The House We Live In,” by Mrs. Vesta J. Farnsworth. This is an illustrated subscription book of 225 pages for the children. It is well liked and is having a remarkable sale,—three editions aggregating 25,000 have already been printed. The Echo Publishing Company has purchased a set of electro plates, and will publish the book in Australia. GCB April 9, 1901, page 166.2

5. “Power for Witnessing,” by A. F. Ballenger. This is a trade book of over 200 pages, treating upon the gift of the Holy Spirit. This, too, is having a large sale. The Fleming H. Revell Company has taken a set of plates, and issued an edition from their house in Chicago. GCB April 9, 1901, page 166.3
