Show THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S AFRiCAN BOOK READY After months of preparation, and careful supervision since his return by Mr. Roosevelt, his great book "African Game Trails," appears all over the United States, in England, France, Germany, and Sweden, on Wednesday, August 24th. In order that the tremendous tremen-dous initial demand might be promptly met, Messrs. Charles Scribner's Sons have printed the book both in the East and in the West, and every effort is making to distribute the book with equal celerity through the dozen or more central agencies of Messrs. Scribner in the great cities from New York to San Francisco. Owing to the railway strike several carloads of paper were delayed on the Grand Trunk, and for this reason it is possible tnat some persons may not receive their copies as promptly as others. This volume is a large octavo of more than five hundred pages printed from beautiful type and elaborately illustrated. illus-trated. It contains more than forty thousand words that did not appear during the serial publication, and in addition numerous pictures made especially espe-cially for the volume. The subjects for the original drawings were selected by Mr. Roosevelt and they were made under un-der his advice. More than a thousand agents have been at work for some time selling this book by means of an elaborate elab-orate prospectus, and new applications are being received at the race of about one hundred a day for territory, so that - every corner of this country will soon be reached, and, with the large facilities facili-ties of the publishers, it is believed that even the unprecedented demand will be promptly filled. It is doubtful whether any volume has attracted the worldwide world-wide attention of this and has so large an audience ready and eager to secure the finished work of the most distinguished distin-guished American at the present day and the one besf known to all civilized nations. |
