tremen dously successful on his book shelves to which we went often were not only works on politics and economics but the very best in poetry ancient and modern and all had been read this in dustrialist who incidentally loved sports had the blessed habit of reading ah books escapist so while we dont believe that vacation time should be bereft of books after all one cannot spend 24 hours of a day swim ming or golfing or fishing we dont think that admitting the need and joy of books anyone can be wise enough to catalogue for us the kind of books they should be sometimes we hear of what are called escapist books usu ally detective fiction or even what passes as detective fiction in such works as mr mickey spillanes but all books if they are worth the paper they are printed on are escapist take us from our environment of care and harsh reality into a differ ent world and company and al most any book whether it be history or biography or fiction or poetry is better than no book at all our own advice about vacation books therefore is that there should be little worry about this particular book or that but just about a reasonable supply of books wiihout such a supply books
