Excerpt from The Arguenot, Vol. 3: April, 1923 At the present time there is a tendency to eliminate books from the list of pleas ures and to seek recreation at plays or movies. This is defended in the state ment that plays or movies are easier to understand. In many instances I have found that when I had read the book first it helped me to appreciate and under stand the play more readily. Books deal with all ages and every country, thus, I can live in any age, and have access to every port in the world. They are never troublesome and any question I may ask can be answered by them, if I strive hard enough to find it. Some tell of the history and romances of the past, others deal with present conditions, while others deal with nature, art and the sciences. Some books in moments of depression help me to forget there is work to be done, studies to be done, and even essays to be written. Still others teach me important lessons. All give information that will never be a burden to me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
