Show THE LITERARY REVOLUTION - CHANGE OF BASE. This very remarkable enterprise continues to make such progress as to astonish friends and astound its enemies. Its greatly increasing proportions have compelled the removal of its headquarters from the Tribune Building to the very large and beautiful building, No. (Number) 764 Broadway, which is in the very midst of the "book district" of New York City, and, therefore, of the publishing enterprise of the nation. This building, though six stories in height, 25 feet front and 100 feet deep, is sufficient only for the office and retail store of the Company. The manufacturing is carried on in several large buildings located in other parts of the city, though it is contemplated concentrating them soon in one immense factory to be erected. Their list of recent and early forthcoming publications are extremely interesting to all who enjoy what is choicest in literature. The Library Magazine is unique in both form, and character and altogether delightful in the richness of its contents. Of the books announced, Green's larger "History of the English People," reduced from $10 to $4, Carlyle's "History of the French Revolution," reduced to 40 cents; Carlyle's "Heroes and Hero Worship," 25 cents, and the "Revised New Testament," which is promised to be manufactured with rapidity heretofore unheard of, will attract special attention. It is worthwhile for everyone who has not already seen it, to send and get the illustrated pamphlet, "Book Making and Type Setting by Steam," which will be sent free upon application. Address, the American Book Exchange, 764 Broadway, New York. |
