BOOK-PRICES CURRENT: Vol. X.XXV. (Stock. 32s. ad. net.)

The new volume of this useful compilation deals with the book-sales of the season 1920-1921. The delay in its appearance is due to the lamented death of Mr. J. 11. Slater, who founded the work and edited the first 34 volumes. The new editor is Mr. W. Roberts, whose bibliographical reputation is a guarantee of the care which he has taken to preserve the comprehensive and accurate character of Mr. Slater's annual. No better choice could have been made, and fhe new volume is, like its predecessors, indispensable to those who either wish or need to know the current prices of rare books.
