ANNUAL SUMMARIES. NOTICE TO PUBLISHERS. The Editor of the "PUBLISHers' weekLY" begs to recall to the attention of publishers the advantage of having their advertisements, at the beginning of the new year, prepared in the form of Complete Lists of their Publications issued during the past year. The number of the "PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY" of January 27 is especially set apart for these Annual Summaries, and will have the additional important feature of an Index, to include all Books so advertised. This number being kept permanently, for daily reference, on the bookseller's desk, alongside of the Annual, will become specially valuable for advertising purposes. The utility of Annual Summaries has already been recognized by the leading houses, and the facilities they afford to the dealer in taking and renewing stock, make it desirable that this practice should become a general custom. It is an advantage both for publisher and dealer, that in replacing stock and making out orders, the latter should be in possession of the Special Lists of the publishers from whom he orders. It will save him time and trouble, and will generally induce him to send fuller orders, on detecting at a glance the deficiencies of his stock. Publishers who wish to have their books carefully indexed, are requested to furnish their advertising pages at the earliest date possible. The labor and time required for compilation and composition will make it imperative that copy should reach us not later than Fanuary 18. WM. CILMORE SIMMS' WORKS.

LEYPOLDT, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER, 37 PARK Row, NEW YORK VOL. XI., No. 3. NEW YORK, January 20, 1877. WHOLE NO. 262. D. APPLETON & CO., 549 and 551 Broadway, New York, PUBLISH THIS DAY: I. THE SHADOW OF THE SWORD. A Romance. By ROBERT BUCHANAN. I volume, 8vo. Paper covers, 75 cents. Mr. Buchanan is a poet, and this romance may be to some extent regarded as a prose poem. The pictures with which the story abounds are bright with the fancy that finds its most natural expression in verse; the coloring is that of a poetical artist, and the weird-like imagination which throws its lurid light upon one page, and the blackness of a great cloud upon another, is that of a man who has seen visions and dreamt dreams. Readers will not be disappointed, if they are willing for a season to exchange the realism of modern fiction for the poetical conceptions, the exciting incidents, the strong passions, and glowing fancy, that belong to high romance."-London Spectator. 'Wild, striking, and animated with much of the poetry of the rugged Breton coast, where the scene is laid."-Illustrated London News. "A weird and powerful romance."-Figaro. II. HARD TIMES.

PUBLISHED BY (Space allotted for Dealer's Imprint.) FEBRUARY, 1877. TO THE RETAIL BOOK TRADE. Retail Booksellers, News Agents, and Dealers generally, who desire a handy, cheap. and profitable advertising medium for the latest books in the market, will find The Literary News the best adapted to that purpose. This publication (now in its fifth year) has reached a circulation of over 25,000 copies, and is used by hundreds of booksellers, from Maine to California. It will be issued as heretofore, at the beginning of every month, with not less than eight pages, embracing Editorial Notes, Literary Intelligence, a full list, compiled expressly for its columns from the records of the PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY, containing the titles and prices of the PRINCIPAL BOOKS PUBLISHED DURING THE PREVIOUS MONTH and announcements of Forthcoming Works for the Current Month, so classified as to show at a glance all the new publications in the various departments of literature, and one page of general advertisements, which will not conflict with the interest of the trade. It will be printed on tinted paper like previous editions, but of superior quality, and being of light texture, it can be sent with any book, magazine, paper, letter, circular, etc., with a small increase of postage. It is certain that dealers who will adopt this cheap and effective mode for advertising their establishments, will find themselves amply repaid in a short time, and we have the testimony of many dealers who have not only increased the sales from their counters, but have found the orders for books not in stock highly remunerative. Terms for Editions with Imprint, invariably payable in advance. Special terms for large quantities. As the December issue will hereafter be published as a double (Christmas) number, regular subscribers at the above rates, who fail to send their special order, will receive only one half the quantity for this month. Special terms for the Christmas number will be announced in the Publishers' Weekly during the month of November. Extra front headings (instead of the adopted style of imprint), with special name of paper and display, for which there is space above the rules inclosing date, are charged $1 extra per edition. Any quantity from 100 to 1000 copies will be sent post-paid, but for larger quantities, at the reduced rates, postage or expressage will be charged. Dealers who desire an edition for trial before subscribing, can be supplied at the following rates: 100 Copies for any month except December, 250 66 66 66 5 00 1000 66 66 $2.50 500 Copies for any month except December, $8 00 15 00 Orders must be received by the 30th of the month previous to which the subscription begins. No orders filled without payment in advance, as the numerous small amounts will neither bear the trouble nor expense of sending bills or of repeated statements, and collecting. Remittances should be made either by Post-Office Order, Draft on New-York, or Registered Letter. All Orders should be addressed, RICHARD BRINCKERHOFF, Manager, Office of PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY; or Box 4295, New-York |
