University Microfilms Solves "Out-of-Print" Books Problem

" A magnificent achieve-

ment . . . O P books solves the

out-of-print book problem."

Verner W. Clapp,

President, Council

on Library Resources, Inc.

The most significant "break through" in recent library history has been accomplished.

Now—through microfilming and xerography—it is possible to secure out-of-print books for your library at reasonable cost.

Thousands of Titles

So far 25 leading publishers have agreed to make their vast libraries available through this service. The thousands of titles in U-M series and files are available. And books you want copied can be handled readily.

Low Page Cost

This new service costs but a page on book paper, plus 70^ bind-ing. The price applies to all books that can be microfi lmed in Ann Arbor. Heavy paper covers are used on glued bindings.

To secure OP Books send title, author, publisher location, or a copy of the book you want reproduced.

Write to be put on the mailing list for catalogs of titles now avail-able.

Purpose: To keep your research people fully informed without drowning them

Let us face it. Advanced technical literature is rarely read, in the same sense that a novel or the front page of a newspaper is read. It is published so that its content of information shall be available to others when, as, and if needed. The great bulk of it is for reference. To publish, by traditional techniques de-signed for wide readership, material that only a relatively few specialists will actually read is a luxury that is now impeding the diffusion of scientific knowledge which pours forth in ever-rising volume.

Therefore, the age of microprint literature is coming in. With as many as 68 standard periodical pages reproduced on a single 3" x 5" file card, here is an ideal medium for literature that hundreds or thousands of people need to have available but that only a handful will read immediately upon publica-tion. When needed, the reading is done comfortably and at larger than original size on a device like the Kodagraph Micro-print Reader.

Several publishers offer extensive lists of periodicals and reference works in microprint card form. They also offer publication service for new literature in this form. For names and addresses, write Graphic Reproduction Division,

THE WORLD'S STANDARD FOREIGN-LANGUAGE DICTIONARIES

and now. . . The new CASSELL'S German dictionary

1,272 pages, $7.00 plain,

$7.75 thumb-indexed

GERMAN-ENGLISH ENGLISH-GERMAN compiled by Dr. H. T. Betteridge, Senior Lecturer in German at the University of Glasgow, with a foreword by Professor Gerhard Cordes of the University of Kiel.

THIS superb, truly modern dictionary main-tains the high standard of scholarship that

made its predecessor, the "Breul," the finest, most authoritative German dictionary in ex-istence. Every entry has been carefully revised; hun-dreds of new entries have been added to cover contemporary, literary, practical, and col-loquial German; definitions have been ex-panded to include recently acquired shifts of meaning and usage; terms introduced because of new scientific, technical, political, and economic developments have been included. And, in accordance with modern usage, Gothic type has been abandoned; the dic-tionary is set in clear Roman type.

CASSELL'S NEW FRENCH DICTIONARY French-English • English-French

This revised Fifth Edition has been completely reset and re-

designed. The Critical Review of Paris calls it "the best

French and English Dic-tionary of ordinary size in existence."

1308 pages, $5.00 plain,

$5.75 thumb-indexed

CASSELL'S LATIN DICTIONARY Latin-English • English-Latin

In this revised edition en-tries have been expanded, etymologies added, and the number of quota- j tions greatly increased Contains more than J P r c * S s n l s 43,000 entries. M » .J A T t * 941 pages, $5.00 plain, $5.75 thumb-indexed.
