1947 New Developments, The Book Front by A. Calder-Marshall, crisis after War

New Developments. The Book Front by Arthur Calder-Marshall. London: The Bodley Head, first published 1947. "The war saw a large increase in the reading public; now rising costs, paper shortage, and other factors have created a crisis in the book trade. If books are to be produced in ways that bring them within the means of ordinary people, radical hanges are required, Arthur Calder-Marshall, well-known for his novels, for his work in films and his talks on the air, here, writes a provocative study which analyses the developments in books over the last generations and makes practical suggestions for overcoming the crisis". 62 pages. Dust jacket is a bit scuffed around the edges, otherwise good condition.
