What Others Think of It. CASPAR'S DIRECTORY OF THE Book, News, and Stationery Trades, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL. This monumental work in easily accessible shape gives the addresses of 50,907 firms in one alphabet, geographically, or under the following headings : The Following are Some of the Opinions of the Trade and Press: "For the time that we have devoted to its examination, are well pleased with it."-ROBERT CLARKE & Co., Publishers and Booksellers, Cincinnati. "You deserve well of the world till you die, and after, but the book trade is just as ungrateful as any republic, and although they may sling an occasional laurel wreath out your way, the silver buzzard and the golden eagle 'flieth not so fast nor so far.' There is but one Directory of the Book and Stationery Trade and that is Caspar's."-P. F. VAN EVEREN, New York. "It is just splendid. The most complete book of the kind we have seen."-J. H. KURZENKNABE & SONS, Harrisburg, Pa. "I am greatly pleased with your Directory. It is the best work of the kind ever issued and deserves a large sale."-NATURAL SCIENCE PUBLISHING Co., New York. "It seems more complete than anything of the kind I have seen before.”—J. B. MARTINDALE, Chicago. "We like it very much, and we don't know but what it is the best thing of the kind we have ever seen."-P. R. MCCARGO & Co., Boston. "Am very grateful to you for the conscientious care and painstaking effort in preparing so valuable and so complete a work. Be kind enough to enter my name, and mail me all addenda sheets in future, and do not fail to notify me of any new project in this line you may engage in."-GEO. H. COLBY, Bookseller, Lancaster, N. H. "We have looked it over with great interest and appreciate the fact that it will be of great value to us."-W. O. DAVIE & Co., Booksellers, Cincinnati. "I think your book a most valuable one and believe it will be better appreciated as it becomes better known."WILL H. LYONS, Newport, Ky. "Even a cursory examination of this important directory will convince any one of the thorough manner in which it has been put together and of the value of the completed work. Mr. Caspar has produced a work which, if properly kept up from year to year, will be the standard."-The American Stationer, New York City. "The Appendix to Caspar's Directory of the American Book, News, and Stationery Trades is a most valuable compilation, exhaustive and complete. The information it contains is absolutely unique and not to be procured from any other source. Hence it is of the first importance to every one in the trades. It is admirably arranged; the references are simple, and being grouped under special heads, makes consultation a matter of little or no difficulty. Such a work is really a great trade textbook, from which the initiated can feel the pulse of the whole book-publishing world. It is a monument of careful, painstaking and accurate labor, and is as reliable as it is extensive. The preparation of this useful volume must have been a work of immense labor and patience, and Mr. Caspar must be congratulated on the success which he has achieved. It is a manual for publishers, booksellers, newsdeales, stationers, and libraries, indispensable to them all."―The American Bookseller.
