Not long after his death Elsa Barker began to receive communications from him describing his life in the world beyond. These letters she collected and issued as "Letters from a Living Dead Man." When Bruce Hatch, a son of the Judge, read the book, he recognized the letters as his Father's work. In part Bruce Hatch says: "Overwhelming as the thought is I cannot escape the conclusion that my Father did dictate these letters and that they tell of his actual adventures in another world." It would be difficult indeed to give a better indication than this, of the great significance for every man and woman of "Letters from a Living Dead Man." But here are the opinions of some readers: "One of the most noteworthy books which it has been my fortune to read."--_A Reader._ "It is sincere and vitally interesting from beginning to end."--_Chicago Evening Post._ "I predict that some copies of this book will be bound in fine leather and worn by much reading."--_A Reader._ "A strange book, and one that causes profound thought."--_Portland Oregonian._ "The introduction is so realistic that one can hardly conceive of the letters themselves being fictitious."--_Aberdeen Free Press._ "Compared with it all previous records seem trivial and commonplace."--_The Occult Review._ _$1.25 net, at all bookstores_ MITCHELL KENNERLEY _Publisher_ 32 West Fifty-Eighth Street New York THE LAY ANTHONY A ROMANCE OF YOUNG LOVE By JOSEPH HERGESHEIMER Instead of trying to describe this book, I prefer to tell you why I am publishing it. Chiefly because I believe that "The Lay Anthony" is a fine piece of work. To me it has in some measure the great qualities of Meredith's "Richard Feverel." One reader's report was in part as follows: "I announce to you a great book; a book beautiful, noble, thrilling. It has held my feebleness awake all night and left me tingling so I can scarce write steadily ... could anyone, any normal person, read it coldly? No, it has the grip, the thrill." And from my second reader: "A truly remarkable book ... the romance of young love handled with distinction and grace." This man thought it too good to sell. Then I read "The Lay Anthony" and knew that it must be published. A fourth reader, as enthusiastic as any of the others, is convinced that the book _will_ sell; he feels that readers will be quick to take advantage of an exciting story, well told, that happens in addition to have two perfectly stunning heroines as well as to possess many of the qualities of great literature. _Mitchell Kennerley._ At all Bookstores, $1.25 net.
