BOOKS FOR THE FORCES

SIR,—The difficulty of sending gift parcels of books to the Forces has been referred to in recent letters to the Press. Would you, therefore, make it known that the members of the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association are co-operating in this effort and are willing to receive, and to pack, books for immediate despatch to the Forces on home and overseas service. All costs of transport will be paid for by the asso- ciation. Antiquarian booksellers, who are members of the association, will be found in every large town, but, in case of difficulty, application to the secretary, 39 Great Russell Street, W.C. t, will find a ready response.—Yours faithfully, LIONEL K. ROBINSON,

President, Antiquarian Booksellers' Association.
