The Herald Book Fair, held at Symphony hall, Boston in October was a treat this year. It was an inspiration to listen to such authors as Lloyd Douglas, Pierre Van Paassen, Bertha Damon, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Hawes, Marjorie Mills, Jesse Stuart, Louise Rich, Bellamy Partridge and many others.
The annual Book Week held in November was observed as usual with the display of the Poster, “Build the Future With Books”, an exhibition of many new juvenile books and the presentation of book marks to impress upon all alike the importance of taking good care of books.
