READERS' UNION

Readers' Union differs from other book-clubs in not tlealink with books at the moment of first publication. Its .. object is to give a second lease of life to' books Of merit which have not„ in the opinion Of -the proinoters of Readers' Union, found the public which they. deserve. Each month such a book, which may originally have been pub- lished at any-price between 7s. 6d. and 25s., will be issued to the members of Readers' Union in a special edition, costing not more than 2s. 6d. The -first three choices certainly inspire con- fidence in the development of the scheme. The book chosen for Septem- ber is Toultima Gratie of 'a Floating City, by A. Noviloff-priboy, for October The Wheel Turns, an impressive novel of contemporary Italy by Gian Dauli, and in November Readers' Union will issue bound together Mr. Adrian Bell's satisfying trilogy of rural life, Corduroy, Silver Ley, and The Cherry Tree.
