In Quest of the Perfect Book By W illi4m Dana Orcutt Ss.oo Little, Brown a Co. . It would seem to us that the author had ended one's quest in this very book-for it has achieved a physical perfection of design and finish that is utterly satisfying. It is described as "the Reminiscences and Reflections of a Bookman . ... " and the author as an "architect of books." He has evidently studied books and their making, type, paper, the harmonizing of make-up and subject matter, wit h loving and patient thoroughness.

Not the kind that has to do with a spot of blood on the floor b~t the kind that deals with the Greek Islands, with the mysteriou s religious rites of forgotten centuries. with the doomed house of Plakos and its lovely daughter. Vernon M ilburne has had for many years a ·dream, recurring on a cert~in night of spring, a dream about whtch he only knows that each year something comes nearer him. So strong is the hold of tl·e dream that Vernon cons·e crates himself to it s cause and only holds himself in readiness for its ful fillment whatever it may be . Now in life, such a course would end in a "flop" of one's hopes, but not so under Mr. John Buchan's skillful pen. There it blossoms into a breathle ss ly thrilling tale of remote islands, surly peasants ahd an old pagan rit e con·secratrd in the Valley of the "Dancing Floor." ~111111111111111111111111111111111111111 sto~y).

Stt·phen McKenna who ha s before been successful in writing trilogies or works of more than one volume has rt>sumed this former hahit iri "Savioms of Society" which is the fir st part of "The Realists." Mr. ~cKenna , who has been going steadily downward in the quality thou~h not in the quantity of his production of late years, ha s in "Saviours of Society" made an attempt to grasp at somethinJr more vigorous. There is a fairly good plot and it is worked out with a good deal of skill though a rather too great wordiness. The title "The Realists." comes from the fact th;jt Mr. McKenna feels that since the War a new type of politician has come into being in England. one who instead of dealing in the old reticences and insincerities of politics look s facts squarely in the face and deals in rcal.ism. -ES'l'Hf:R GouLD .
