=Booth, Mrs. Maud Ballington.= Twilight fairy tales. **$1.25. Putnam.
Mrs. Booth’s tales follow the fortunes of a little boy “who found the magic land of ‘Maybe’ the more readily for faithfulness in the land of ‘Is,’ and so lived cheek by jowl with fairies when he had behaved himself properly.” (Nation.)
“Mrs. Booth writes fluently and gracefully. The pictures are somewhat strained in effect and badly drawn.”
=Booth, William H.= Water softening and treatment, condensing plant, feed pumps, and heaters for steam users and manufacturers; with figs., diags. and tables. *$2.50. Van Nostrand.
The work is divided into five sections as follows: 1, Treatment of water by softening, together with the separation of oil and filtration; 2, Air pumps, condensers, and circulating pumps; 3, Feed heating and stage heating; 4, Water cooling; and 5, Feed pumps and injectors.
“From those portions of the book more closely related to its title the American engineer will learn but little. The methods of analysis given are inadequate and the forms of softening apparatus described are evidently less efficient than those in common use in this country.” George C. Whipple.

“Altogether, the book contains complete information with respect to the purification and supply of water to steam boilers, which will be valuable to users of steam; whilst the first portion on water softening, will be very useful in indicating the methods by which hard water may be rendered available for various manufactures requiring pure water.”
=Booth, William Stone.= Practical guide for authors in their relations with publishers and printers. *50c. Houghton.
“A clear and terse exposition of ‘those questions and difficulties which may arise during negotiations for the sale of a manuscript to a publisher, or in the relations which exist between a publisher and an author after a work has been accepted.’”—N. Y. Times.
“Mr. Booth writes with authority, having full and very helpful knowledge of his subject.”
“He writes of the practical side of things with sanity and clearness.”
“The best book of its kind we have seen, both for its simplicity and its comprehensiveness. It is in reality an excellent ‘style-card’ for printers and proof-readers, as well as a book of directions for writers.”
