The Booklovers' Diary (2s. 6d.) is a welcome innovation from
the best-known of contemporary diary publishers (Charles Letts & Co.), in collaboration with the publishers of John O'London's Weekly (George Newnes). It contains a miniature history of printing, of book-binding and of book- collecting, a list of British Publishers, and the principal British and American Literary Agents, the names of all the important Libraries, Literary Societies and Clubs, and very helpful up-to-date notices of pocket library editions, such as the Traveller's Series (Cape and Heinemann). The actual space provided for the day-to-day journal is, as usual, barely adequate for anything except making " dates," but there is some compensation even here in the shape of pithy footnotes which supply a " Who's Who ? " of contemporary writers.
