Books: THE CREAM.
There is no room in TIME for the second-rate, the inconsequential. The
following new books are advertised here by their publishers only at tne express invitation of TIME'S Book Editor. Not all the good books are here advertised; but all the books here advertised are good.
They are books selected from extensive lists as being of outstanding merit and interest for TIME-readers. Laudatory "blurbs" are purposely omitted, being unnecessary. Each book's mere presence in the list testifies to its excellence; each book admitted has been, or will be. descriptively reported in TIME text.
