...LORENZO BUNCH-Booth Tarkington-Doubleday, Doran ($2). "There always will be books but perhaps the only books in the future will be reference books, scientific books and research books." Thus gloomily spoke aging Novelist Newton Booth Tarkington fortnight ago. If he was thinking of the probable life of his forthcoming novel, The Lorenzo Bunch, or of the books written by that perishably popular U.

P. Severin Co. of Chicago had done with the $325.000 assigned for reconstruction...
...Conductor Arturo Toscanini, once paid 2,700 lire ($229.50). Shortly Son Walter, a rare-book dealer, learned that the signature was forged, gave Milan police a tip as to who the forger was. They found the rogue, one Tobia Nicotra, in his workshop, busy making autographs of Christopher Columbus, Lorenzo de' Medici, Warren Gamaliel Harding, many another...
