To Avoid Mistakes and Explanations

1. THE "Bible Band Booklet" is not the same as "Questions and Answers." The first is filled with facts of interest and profit to our Bible Band readers. The price of it is 10 cents post free.
2. "Questions and Answers" is a book of over 250 pages, bound in cloth, worth, as many books are selling, $1.25. But it is not for sale at any price. It is gotten out for the express purpose of increasing the subscription list of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES at the full retail price and twenty-five cents added.
3. The publishers feel that the paper is worth its price in the vast amount of good religious reading and instruction it gives every year. But to continue old subscribers and secure new subscribers, they are willing for the small sum of 25 cents to give the book "Questions and Answers," compiled from thousands of questions answered in the paper during the last twenty years.
4. A few have said, "I have subscribed for five copies of the special series, and I would like the book." But the five copies were furnished at reduced rates, and the publishers could not furnish with these the book without loss. If the editor had not given his time and the book published without royalty, we could not afford to furnish it as we do.
5. Therefore the book is furnished only to full yearly subscribers to the SIGNS OF THE TIMES at $2.00 a year. But one says, "I am now a subscriber." Good! subscribe a year in advance. The editor frequently does to get some valuable book premium. If you are in advance now, get some new subscriber, at regular price, pay the small difference yourself, and secure the book.
The book would not have had existence, in all probability, apart from the SIGNS OF THE TIMES; it is due the paper that it can only be secured with a full year's subscription at $2.00, and we do no injustice to any one.
The book will be ready for delivery about February 15, but orders may be sent now. In fact, we have already received many.
