Hints on the Store.

A BOOKSTORE is a centre of culture, and should display in its belongings the refinement of taste which books promote. Bookselling, as a business, stands at the head of the trades, and should require knowledge and ability that may entitle it to rank almost with the professions. The bookstore should be the most attractive, the most tasteful, the most elegant store in town.

That this could not be in most places, under the demoralization from which the trade is now making efforts to rise, goes without saying. The book trade could not command the education nor the taste that it should be able to bring to the service of book-buyers. So long as there is "no money in it," American boys will not attempt to fit themselves for a trade, as booksellers' assistants should be fitted. So long as the bookseller himself can scarcely earn butter for his bread, he will not, because he can not, attempt to beautify his store.

Yet in the great centres there is manifest a remarkable growth of culture and taste in the fittings of the bookstore, and we trust to see the example followed through the country as the progress of better business principles in the book trade makes it possible. In Boston, New-York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, and other great cities, there are bookstores that worthily represent the trade, and some of the new stores in this city, of which we have spoken from time to time, will combine elegance and convenience in an unu sual degree. The new home of the three Scribner firms, elsewhere described, particularly demands attention, as representing the greatest advance yet made in the bookstore.

There ought to be nothing gaudy about the bookstore, which should be noted for that "literary atmosphere" that can be more easily indicated than defined. It needs plenty of light; but, consistently with this, its tone and decoration should be subdued, neutral rather than vivid in color, a fitting setting for the real at traction, the books themselves, rather than so salient in any way as to attract attention from them. The fitting-up of the store should keep always in mind the convenience of the buyer, for books often "sell themselves" when the book-loving prowler is brought into direct and pleasant contact with them. For this reason, and for convenience in handling, high shelving is to be discouraged. The new gallery system is a great improvement, and has the further advantage that the shelves are always in sight from any part of the floor, so that books can not easily be pocketed.

Of course, in view of this necessary precau

tion, dark or out-of-the-way corners should be used only for the storage of stock, and not be made accessible to the customer. Those of longest experience in the trade agree that open and accessible shelving is very desirable, for the losses by pilfering are small in comparison to the gains, and most of the new stores are recognizing this principle. The new fashion of having a pleasant corner, in which one "may take mine ease in my-bookstore," is another happy innovation, although such a place is apt to become too general a rendezvous. should be a general rule of the book business that all comers are to receive every attention, for the chance comer is a customer in posse, and those who have in the present more taste for books than money to spend on them, are useful clients of a bookstore, as well for the patronage their chit-chat among friends induces as for their own possible development into buyers.

Yet it

In planning tables and shelving, there should be the utmost regard to a proper classification and grouping of subjects, so that the customer can find his own way about. It is almost unnecessary to add that tables, shelving, and sittings should be carefully adapted to physical requirements, so that books can both be reached and looked over without effort.

Hand-rails are always desirable, to prevent wearing of the books.

One important feature in planning the store should be a table near the front for freshest publications, on which changes should be made daily, and no books allowed to become shopworn. Need we add that here, or at a convenient desk, the customer should be able to find the bibliographical reference books, and copies of the Literary News, or the catalogues of the

house?

These are random hints-largely truisms; but it is sometimes worth while to put in prin suggestions that are frequently overlooked, because "everybody knows" them.

THE full representation of the book trade at the Centennial is an important matter, which should receive attention at once. We learn that two or three individual houses have entered formal applications for space; but the appreciation of its importance does not seem to be general.

Meanwhile, the time named for the re. ceipt of applications is rapidly drawing to a close, June 1st being the day named, and there is danger of the trade as a trade being left out in the cold with but a poor show. We have applied to the proper authorities for full information as to the space set apart for the book trade, and what applications have so far been made for it, and shall give the data to our readers in an early number. But we should advise
