SPALDING'S
ATHLETIC
LIBRARY.

is a matter of common knowledge that nowhere in the
world does sport appeal so much to the masses and the
classes as in the United Kingdom. tend it is here, too,
that books of an athletic character, whether they are devoted
to a particular sport or to athletics in general, have a larger
number of readers than in any other country.
One of the chief faults, however, of previous books on
sport, was the fact that they were inaccessible to the average
individual on account of their high price. This the publishers
of
Spalding's Athletic Library
have obviated, by placing
a fixed price of 6d. nett. on each of the series, thus making it
an easy matter for anyone to obtain instruction in the sport in
which he or she is interested, for an absolutely nominal sum.
In less than two years
Spalding's Athletic Library
has made a name for itself with the British reading public
that cannot be equalled by any similar sporting library in the
country. And this is not surprising, when one realises that for
Sixpence one can get clearer and fuller instruction than can
be had elsewhere at a much higher price.
It is the intention of the publishers to follow no the
publication of the present numbers of the series with otherD,
until every known branch of sport is dealt with, meanwhile
replacing some of the present series with new books to keep
the library up-to-date.
