AMAZING SALES
BRITISH BLUE BOOK
STATIONERY OFFICE BEST-
SELLER
(Brltlsb Official wireless.)
RUGBY, January 18,
The sales of the British Blue Book on German-Polish relations up to the outbreak of the war have now reached the amazing total of 565,000 copies.
When the sale of : some 25,000 copies ordinarily places a novel in the category of a best-seller, the extent of the interest created by the publication of this documentary survey can easily be judged. Indeed, the Stationery Office in recent months has had several notable publishing hits—a pamphlet on German concentration camps has had a sale of 37,000 copies—and it is anticipated that sales of the report on the Russian-British relations, to be published within a few weeks, will at least rival the earlier Stationery Office best-sellers.
