Among recent reference books received, The English Catalogue of Books
(56 Whitcombe Street, W. 2) gives all the books issued in the United Kingdom between 1921 and 1925, It is, of course, invaluable to librarians and a mine of informs. tion to all who have to deal with contemporary literature.
* * * The Canada Year Book for 1925, published under the authority of the Canadian Government, contains in some thousand pages much well-digested information. We need only draw attention to its publication, for the Canadians are well known for the methodical and well-planned statistics they issue concerning the resources of their wonderful country.
* * * Switzerland is another country which never lacks guide books. Messrs. Ward Lock's Switzerland, published at 5s. in their series of tourist handbooks, is a useful publication at a popular price. Maps and illustrations are good: there is not too much detailed information, yet everything the average traveller wants to know.
