Book Description
Excerpt from How to Advertise Printing The most interesting preface of a book that I ever read is that in the front of "Eccentricities of Genius," written by my friend, the late Major J. B. Pond, of New York. After stating that he had three thousand volumes in his library, but that none of the prefaces suited him, he proceeded to take extracts from a half-dozen or more of these books, using those paragraphs, all more or less suitable, as the preface of his own book, telling of his association with great men and women. I could hardly follow such a course in the preface of this volume, however, because it is, in a sense, a pioneer in the field of books. Nothing like it has ever been written, to my knowledge. There are books devoted to the advertising of some other lines of trade, but none dealing particularly with the advertising of the printer. For that reason I can hardly claim that my work "fills a long-felt want," and we do not have many long-felt wants of any kind in this progressive age. Wants are not felt very long before they are filled, and many needs are even anticipated before the public really knows that it has them.
