How to Get Books at Cost. This Bulletin also explains our co-operative plan for supplying books at cost. The publishing house which issues this volume is not owned by any capitalist. It is owned by 1,900 socialist working people, each of whom has subscribed ten dollars to help publish more socialist books. No dividends are paid; the advantage to the stockholder is that instead of paying fifty cents for a book like this one he pays twenty-five cents if he calls at our office for it, or thirty cents if it is mailed to him. More stockholders are needed to provide the capital for publishing more books, and readers of this book are urged to co-operate with us to the extent of buying a share at ten dollars. We do not care to sell more than one share to one subscriber, but any one having more than ten dollars to invest can get four per cent interest on it and have the money returned to him at any time on thirty days’ notice. These terms are better than are offered by Chicago banks, and the lender has the satisfaction of knowing that his money is used for the interests of the working class and not against them.

Transcriber’s Notes
Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.
Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks repaired.
Inconsistent hyphenation has not been changed.
On nine pages, there was extra space between paragraphs, but these appeared to be the way the printer setup the text, rather than content breaks intended by the author, so they have been ignored in this eBook.
The last six pages summarize other volumes in the Series of which this book is a part. Those pages originally were numbered 1-6 but are numbered here as 201-206.
Page [19]: “Vasca Da Gama” was printed that way.
