“MEIN KAMPF”
OBJECTION TO SECOND-HAND
SALES
The fact, that second-hand copies of Germany’s best-seller. “Mein Kampf.” are sometimes offered for sale by sec-ond-hand booksellers is deprecated by the president of the Reich Chamber of Literature in a statement in which he says:— “Such offers are from a commercial standpoint fundamentally in order. On the other hand, every National-Social-ist-thinking German is painfully affected by seeing the work of our Fuehrer described in our time as ’secondhand.’ It would be gratifying if this notice were sufficient to induce every bookseller to remove the copies offered as second-hand from his shelves. No antiquarian bookseller should be politically so antiquated as to be unable to assent cordially to this suggestion.” No indication is given whether antiquarian booksellers are expected to remove also from their shelves the coveted earliest issues of Herr Hitler's myriad-editioned work. —“The Times.”
