The Bibelot.

MDCCCXCVI

Those authors and subjects that many readers are glad to come at in a brief way, (and who may be thereby quickened to direct their studies anew to the sometimes surface hidden beauties of literature,) will continue to find ample presentation in The Bibelot for 1896.

The typework that has made so many friends among bookmen, will also be fully sustained; in a word, The Bibelot still proposes to remain something quite by itself, and out of the highway and beaten track of every-day book-making.

Subscriptions for 1896 at the regular price, 50 cents in advance, postpaid, are taken for the complete year only. After March 1, the rate will be 75 cents, which will, on completion of Volume II, be advanced to $1.00 net.

It is desirable that renewals for 1896 should be forwarded Mr. Mosher early that no vexatious delays may occur in mailing. All subscriptions must begin with January and end with December of each year.

“If Europe be the home of Art, America can at least lay claim to the most artistically compiled publication devoted to the subject that we know of. This is Modern Art.”—Galignani Messenger (Paris).

“The most artistic of American art periodicals. A work of art itself.”—Chicago Tribune.

Fifty Cents a Number. Two Dollars a Year.

Arthur W. Dow has designed a new poster for Modern Art. It is exquisite in its quiet harmony and purely decorative character, with breadth and simplicity in line and mass, and shows the capacity of pure landscape for decorative purposes.—The Boston Herald.

The Fly Leaf is distinctive among all the Bibelots.—Footlights, Philadelphia.

THE FLY LEAF.

Overcrowded market? Yes—with Poor Stuff! But there is room enough in the Literary Show for a Periodical of Literature. The Most Periodicals are only Print.

The Fly Leaf is filled with Wit and Personality, Humor and Fantasy, Thought and Quips. It is a Bibelot of real unadulterated Literature—one of the Three Trumps in Bibelot Literature every lover of robust, masculine Ideas and Stuff wants to read.

The Fly Leaf is the most unexpected and amusing Bundle of Surprises. It gives Quality, not Quantity, and it does not aim to be Cheap, but Clever. It interests all who are smart enough to recognize “a good thing” at sight. It is written with Individuality and a Freed Lance, but is not trivial nor decadent. There is a proper admixture of Worldly Wisdom and Common Sense.

It is a delightfully keen little swashbuckler.—The Echo, Chicago.

He (the editor) has the wit and impudence of Falstaff.—The Post, Hartford, Conn.

It is time that American authorship had a champion before the people of this country.—The Standard, Syracuse.

For Sale by all Booksellers.

Sample copies cost 5 cents, or three for 10 cents. Current number 10 cents single copy. $1 a year in advance.
