In part: "Here at the office, we are in a dither of excitement over it. For it is obvious that the continued success of this Club has been due to the plan which enabled us to furnish our members with worth-while fine books at low prices. And now, in this fourth series, that plan enables us to furnish our members with five fine books containing more than one thousand pages each, and two fine books printed completely by hand -- at the same prices!" He goes on in this breathless manner: "The titles seem to us even more desirable than ever; a fine Huck Finn, a Dante, a Pickwick, a Hamlet, a Don Quixote." He goes on in this same sales-pitchy vein before signing off in his trademark brown ink. NEWMAN 45.
