the larger prices; seven authors believe the reverse of this, but their convictions were not expressed with any
great force in all instances.
Of the remaining authors to whom we wrote, fourteen were non-committal in their statements, certain of
them giving information in answer to our questions, but without expressing opinions and leaving us to make
deductions from the facts; nine stated that they were unable to give useful information, and from the
remainder we have not yet heard.
Much of this unclassified evidence was informatory to ourselves, and the
deduction we have drawn from it is that it contains no definite arguments in favour of the lowering
of the
original
of the new novel from 6s. either for the benefit of the author, the publisher, the bookseller, or
public.
the
We propose to collect further evidence from novelists during the time that must elapse before we can
report finally.
Our interim conclusion, that novelists would be unwise to allow themselves, or their agents for them,
to enter into any contracts whereby it is agreed that the initial price of the new novel should be lower than 6s,
is much strengthened by the replies which we have received from the list of publishers to whom we addressed
a letter asking whether the circulation obtained for novels published originally at a lower price than 6s. would,
in their opinion, result in a proportionate increase if the price were lowered. The basis on which we asked for
information was a 6s. novel of the ordinary length of about 80,000 to 100,000 words with a circulation of at
least 3,000 copies; and, further, we asked if it would be practicable to pay an author royalties on a 2s., a 2s. 6d.
or a 3s. net book at so high a rate as on a 6s. book; and if it would be practicable to consider raising the Original
price in certain cases.
We desire to record our sense of the valuable and courteous manner in which our questions, necessarily of
a searching nature, were responded to by the publishers.
Several publishers said that at the present moment they were not prepared to answer definitely, while one,
who may be mentioned by name, because his position has been made public by his own letter to The Publishers
Circular, viz., Mr. Heinemann, pointed out to us that he was at the present moment engaged in an important
experiment in the alteration of the prices at which new novels should be issued, of the results of which he would
be in a position to inform us in February. Other publishers who have issued new fiction at lower prices than
6s. have given us details showing that the experiments had failed.
The consensus of opinion from the publishers is to the effect :
(1) (a) that from 9,000 copies at least, to 12,000 (the highest figure mentioned) must be sold at 2s. net ;
(b) that 8,000 must be sold at 2s. 6d. net ; and
(c) that 6,000 copies must be sold at
net before the author would receive the amount equivalent
