As a result of comments upon the excessive cost of German periodicals recently made in Great Britain and the United States, German publishers, two years ago, reduced their prices by 20 per
cent. (See article by Dr. W. Bonser, Librarian of the University of Birmingham, NATURE of July 1, 1933, p. 34, and again of October 7, 1933, p. 540.) Unfortunately this reduction was at once
counterbalanced by the fall in the value of the pound sterling. The German publishers are, however, making a further reduction, so that now the benefit will be appreciable. We are informed
that: “From September 9th, 1935, there will be a discount of 25 per cent on the published prices of all new books originating from and published in Germany, on music and on all graphical
instructive material, on subscriptions to periodicals, provided they were not charged before that date”. The reductions will make a great difference to all university and society libraries;
for example, the physiological Berichte, formerly costing 6 vols. at RM. 68 will now be at RM. 51—a saving of about £8 a year.
