PREFACE.


In presenting this little book to our friends, we wish to offer a few
words of explanation. Many Directories have been commenced, but none ever
published. We have taken great care to procure the addresses of every
prominent dealer in the United States, and we think that few have been
omitted. Of course, where dealers are constantly starting business, and
others retiring, to produce a complete Directory would be impossible, but
we have taken every measure to make the work as perfect as possible.

                                                           L. FRANK BAUM,
                                                           WM. NORRIS,
                                                           H. C. BAUM.


EXPLANATION.

Those names prefixed thus (*) are _known to us_ to be reliable. Those
thus (†), deal principally _in counterfeits_. Those thus (‡), are _not_
reliable.

    NOTE.—Mr. S. A. Taylor,† 81 Washington Street, Boston, is a
    dealer, but does not want his name included in this work, so we
    omit him.
