The publisher would like to record his appreciation to all those librarians, welfare officials, and committee members of Institutions for the Blind whose valuable advice and assistance has helped to make publication of this series possible. While it is primarily intended that these books should provide entertainment in the form of popular fiction by well-known authors, it is to be hoped that readers, librarians, and others who are interested in the problems of the partially sighted will feel free to offer advice and suggestions as to directions in which this series may develop.
