Excerpt from What, When and How: The People's Book of Ready Reference, A Collection of the Most Practical, Useful and Valuable Recipes, Formulas and Suggestions for Every Occasion In a certain sense the publisher has no more right to place a book upon the market which does not contain qualities peculiarly its own than has the inventor to put forth a mechanism which is but the copy of another. The difference, of course, in the situation of the two is that the law restrains the inventor from palming off something spurious upon the public, while the publisher is thrown back upon his sense of honor. It has, therefore, become a fixed custom for the latter to give his reasons for the publication of his works. Fortunately, in the personal case under consideration, this is not a difficult matter. The pub lishers do not claim a unique place for their book on the score of originality, since it is common knowledge that Cook Books, House hold Physicians, Standard Formularies, Guides for Housekeepers and works for farmers, gardeners and live stock men have been issued by the score. They do claim, however, that they have condensed and classified all the practical information covered by this varied and yet related literature, and made it available to the people - that theirs is truly The People's Book - a library between two covers, showing the man, woman and child of moderate means how to get the most good out of life.
