Volume 10 — THE TURNINGS OF A BOOKWORM

Love levels all plots. Dead men sell no tales. A new boom sweeps clean. Circumstances alter bookcases. The more haste the less read. Too many books spoil the trade. Many hands make light literature. Epigrams cover a multitude of sins. Ye can not serve Art and Mammon. A little sequel is a dangerous thing. It's a long page that has no turning. Don't look a gift-book in the binding. A gilt-edged volume needs no accuser. In a multitude of characters there is safety. Incidents will happen even in the best regulated novels. One touch of Nature makes the whole book sell. Where there's a will there's a detective story. A book in the hand is worth two in the library. An ounce of invention is worth a pound of style. A good name is rather to be chosen than great characters. Where there's so much puff, there must be some buyer.
