investigations abroad,with little or no knowledgeof the customs and conditions of the countries visited,isalmost impossible unless there are active co-operation andgoodwill on the part of those responsible for the organi-zations visited.  \nOur strenuous tour in Amsterdam and Leipzig wasmade appreciably easier for us by the extraordinary kind-ness shown by our friends in the Dutch and German booktrades.No delegation could possibly have been betterserved than we were in this respect.Their patience inexplaining all the relevant points of their organizations,their extreme courtesy in answering a fusillade of questions,their hospitality and their obvious wish to be of serviceto us were most gratifying.  \nIt is our first desire to place on record our greatappreciation and to render our warmest thanks for themany kindnesses shown.  \nAMSTERDAM  \nOuR first visit was to the Headquarters,of the Dutchbook trade at Amsterdam.  \nIt is important,in order to understand the system ofbook distribution in Holland(as,indeed,in Germany),toappreciate that the book trade is organized as a whole.There are separate sectional associations of booksellers andpublishers,but for all purposes concerning the generalwell-being of the book business,booksellers and publishersact together as one body.  \nThe central organization is housed in a fine buildingat Amsterdam.It is from here that the Dutch book tradeis governed.  \nThis central organization includes a receiving andforwarding system for parcels.Goods are deliveredcarriage paid to the Clearing House.On arrival they areweighed and sorted into pigeon holes under the names ofbooksellers,and when so sorted are dispatched in oneconsignment to their various destinations.  \nPublishers are debited with a nominal commission onthe weight of the goods delivered by them to the ClearingHouse for distribution to booksellers.Booksellers are alsocharged at a rate equivalent to one shilling per hundred-weight for the parcels dispatched to them.This is ahandling fee only,and does not include carriage.  \nThese charges,combined with
