Excerpt from The Home Guide to Good Reading: Compiled With Notes

Acknowledgment is made herewith of assistance obtained from articles and books on the subject of good reading. Helpful ideas were gained from a booklet prepared by members of the English department at the University of Wisconsin and from publications issued by the city librarians of Newark, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Cleveland and Chicago. Mr. John Cotton Dana, Miss Linda A. Eastman, and Mr. Walter L.Brown gave generously of their extensive information. They and Mr. George B. Utley of the American Library Association were able to advise me on points unfamiliar to persons of any other profession. Those who find profitable direction in reading from the following pages will be sure to supplement this guide with the opinions of the most indefatigable critics of books, the trained librarians serving every community of America.
