HOW TO OBTAIN ENTOMOLOGICAL BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS.
Comparatively few of the works treating of the classification of North
American insects have been published as separate books; but such as have
been so published, if of comparatively recent date, can be obtained
through the regular book trade. By far the greater number of the
monographs and synopses mentioned in the preceding pages have been
published in scientific periodicals and in the proceedings or
transactions of scientific societies. These may be obtained either
through the societies or through the publishers; but single volumes of
transactions or proceedings, and more especially single papers, are
seldom sold, and the older volumes are liable to be out of print.
Moreover, the expense attending the purchase of all of the periodicals
containing the publications on a given order of insects will be so great
as to put them beyond the reach of most entomologists. The custom of
placing at the disposal of authors a number of separate copies of their
papers overcomes this difficulty to some extent and creates a small
supply. Thus it often happens that a person interested can obtain a copy
of a scientific paper by addressing the author personally. Many of
these separate copies also fall into the possession of dealers in
second-hand books, and may be purchased from them. The American
Entomological Society of Philadelphia, and also a few other societies
here and in Europe, offer for sale from their duplicates many of these
authors' extras, and in some cases publish lists. There are, moreover,
certain business establishments which make a specialty of the sale of
works and pamphlets on natural history, including entomology, and it is
chiefly through such establishments that the student is enabled to
secure the larger portion of the works needed.
