Following this auspicious be ginning ,at each presidential term since, an additional 200 volumes have been added from the books of the intervening 4 years. With the presentation of the 1953 collect ion, the White House Library now contains 1700 volumes considered to be representative, of the best books published in the United States. The 200 titles presented on November 10th were selected from the new books of the years 1949-52. The American Booksellers Associ ation assumes both the responsibi lity for the selection and the cost. Several points of view are kept in mind in selecting books tot the White House Library.. The books have to be siginficant, yet not over specialized; readable, yet not con fined to the popular. The American scene, our history, lives and letters are naturally emphasized. There must be books for children. In this connection I may say that the re cent collection contained 23 titles for children.
