Book Trade Salaries in France THE HE National Committee of the "Federation of the Book" in France concerned itself mainly, during 1921 with an attempt to establish some relation between salaries and the cost of living. In the more important parts of the country such as Paris, Lyon, Marseilles, Lille, Bordeaux, etc., an agreement was made that salaries should be raised tri-monthly to meet the rise in the cost of living. Conversely, they should be lowered if the prices of necessities went down. This agreement was not in force, however, in most sections of France where the matter had to be thrashed out amid often much bitterness on both sides. Adams, James G., ed.-"Review of the American Forces in Germany," was entered in the PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY Weekly Record, Dec. 31, 1921, as being published by the author at A. P. O., 927, Coblenz, Germany. The American distributors of this book are The George A. Banta Pub. Co., Menasha, Wis., and the price is $1.50 instead of $1 as quoted in the Weekly Record of the above date. It is also published in Morocco at $3. Personal Notes VICTOR W.
