EIGHTY THOUSAND WORDS OF GEORGE
BERNARD SHAW
ROMANCE IN BOOKS
FOR THE MASS
By LIONEL HALE
IN May you will be able to buy 11,000 words of new Shaw
and 70,000 words of old Shaw for a shilling the pair. Mr. George Bernard Shaw has entirely rewritten for the "Penguin" series (60. a volume) his "Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism."
Its title is now changed to "The I.W.G. to Socialism, Capital, Fascism, and Communism." Hence the extra 11,000 words.
This is only part of the expansion scheme which Mr. Allen Lane has planned for the Penguin series.
