" BEST SELLERS AND THE ATLANTIC " [To the Editor

of THE SPECTATOR]

Snt,—We hope you will send us an invitation for the spectacle of Mr. John Carter eating his hat, which should be both amusing and instructive.

The sales in this country of Dorothy Parker's After Such Pleasures, alone have exceeded two thousand.—Yours faithfully, LONGMANS GREEN AND CO., LTD., G. BELTON COBBS, Sales Manager. 39 Paternoster Row, London, E.C.4.
