      Rphe Pall Mall Gazette Has Gained And Co...

      rpHE Pall Mall Gazette has gained and con-J- tinues to attract a considerable amount of « :. . .

      public attention throiigh its advocacy of new and adventurous projects . On the 29 th ult .

      one of its contributors suggested a fresh departure in tHe bpok business , the suggestive

      article being characteristically called 'An Unworked Bonanza in the Book Trade /

      For this c Bonanza r the trade must go over the sea in ships , the idea being that on board

      all great ocean liners bookstalls should be established , in conjunction , with existing traffic

      in necessities for travellers at sea . The Writer in the Pall Mall Gazette seems to have a better

      acquaintance with maritime affairs than he has with the affairs of the book world . The

      comparison he offers in connection "with railway stalls is hardly fair , for it is well known that

      these derive a large proportion of their revenue from the sale of newspapers ; therefore it is

      more than doubtful whether book sales on board ship would be large ~ mmw enoug ^^ h to encourage Vi . ^

      any extensive investment of capital . Several points , however , in the suggestion

      of the Pall Mall Gazette's contributor deserve favourable attention . Ship bookselling might

      certainly be established on a small scale , its development depending upon the taste of

      passengers , and we see some shrewd sense in the anticipation that ' as every mail steamer entered

      a foreign port it would soon become known that at her bookstall the last new book at

      home could be procured before its fame had reached a far-off colony or settlement . Local

      traders abroad would learn to study the mailboat bookseller , certain that the book most

      read on board would be the one most talked of by new arrivals , and consequently shortly to

      be the book in greatest ' demand >*• on shore . ' Perhaps some of the 7 more enterprising

      members of ' the tradeat our great seaports will find something to their advantage in

      maturing this proposal .
