LET US REPLACE YOUR CARD CATALOG WITH AN INEXPENCIVE PAPERBACK

If you've wanted to convert to a book catalog but haven’t because of economic considerations, we'd like to talk to you about your economics.

It does cost something initially to change over. But the statistics indicate that you get it all back.

Based on 1970 contracts, the average cost per title for all our book catalog customers came to under $1.25.

But for libraries still using card catalogs—even if they actually catalog only 20% of their acquisitions— the cost comes out to something like $2.60 per title. If you have 7,000 new acquisitions a year, for example, you save $9,450. (A book catalog will require periodic cumulations, of course. But even with this expense, most libraries come out ahead.)

Besides saving you money, a book catalog lets you do things you couldn't do with a card catalog at any price. Such as making a virtually limitless number of copies. And sending copies out of the library to interested teachers, students, and other librarians.

For complete facts and figures, write to Xerox Bibliographies, 2500 Schuster Drive, Cheverly, Md. 20781.

We're not suggesting that a book catalog will make your library rich. But the way costs are going up it could be the only thing in your library keeping it from growing poor.

Wenceslaus Hollar

Delineator of His Time

ByKatherine S. Van Eerde, Muhlenberg College, xiυ, 122 pp., frontis., illus., bibliog. essay, index. $15.00

(The Folger Shakespeare Library)

This study of the vast work of Wenceslaus Hollar, the famous seventeenthcentury artist, presents a fresh interpretation of the man himself and of the social, physical, and political aspects of England, his adopted country. Hollar traveled extensively on the Continent and after being exiled from Bohemia, he came to England. There, new surroundings sharpened his vision. His engravings and drawings of the land and its people provide an irreplaceable view of seventeen-century life.

Thomas Jefferson’s Flower Garden at Monticello

ByEdwin M. Betts and Hazelhurst Bolton Perkins. 76 pp. (tnt.), illus.

Paper,$2.50

(Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation)

Of the innumerable books written about the many facets of Thomas Jefferson’s life, this is one of the few ever written about Thomas Jefferson as a gardener. The garden was one of his most absorbing interests, and for this reason it is a delight to see this new edition with additional color illustrations of Thomas Jefferson’s Flower Garden at Monticello.

The garden at Monticello is discussed in detail from Jefferson’s rough sketches to his final planting plans. Restoration of the garden was carried out according to the extensive notes recorded in Jefferson’s Garden Book from 1776 to 1824 enabling the present garden at Monticello to be planted and maintained almost exactly as Jefferson left it.

Winterthur Portfolio 6

Edited byRichard K. Doud andIan M. G. Quimby. 223 pp., illus., index. $10.00 (Winterthur Museum)

This latest Portfolio is an authoritative reference on several unique topics of eighteenthand nineteenth-century American, French, and English culture as it related to American life. The generously illustrated articles discuss at length topics often overlooked in broad historical studies, but topics which are definitive in American history and which will probably never be given such complete and thorough attention again.

The Winterthur Portfolios are devoted to the art and culture of early America. Volumes 1 through 5 are available at the Press at $10.00 each. Details of the contents of each volume are available upon request.

Geology and Virginia

ByRichard V. Dietrich, Central Michigan University, xiυ. 213 pp., tables, charts, illus., index. $12.95

Virginia’s caves, her Natural Bridge, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Natural Chimneys, and her mineral resources have aroused the curiosity of residents and travelers alike since at least the seventeenth century. These and several other natural features are explored in this long-needed guide to the geology of Virginia. Rocks, minerals, and topographical features are identified by descriptions of their characteristics, their environments of origin, and the areas where they are now found. Numerous illustrations permit easy identification.
