12.20.2023 – no message of love,

no message of love,
goodwill, friendship, that can’t be
conveyed in a book

This ad ran in the New York Times, 100 years ago today, December, 20, 1923.

There is no Message of Love, Affection, Good-Will or Friendship that cannot be conveyed in a book.

In 1928, the New York Herald Tribune would report, ” … Brentano’s on West Forty-seventh street probably [is] the foremost bookshop in the world. Over a million books are kept in stock, and there are branch shops in Washington, Chicago, Paris, London.
