i FIVE HUNDRED BUSINESS BOOKS ^rfl =1 ^ /y7^r/^/j/j J~/'//lQrV /^s- ■' \^,^' 6 o^' t>.'^ PREFACE The idea of a science of business is accepted. Courses in business administration are given in our leading colleges and universities. Correspondence courses for those already engaged in business are in- creasingly popular. Around this idea of a science of business, has grown up, inevitably a special literature. Publishers and booksellers advertise business books, and libraries make special collections of books for business men. This business literature is of so recent an origin that in compiling a list of the best business books, one finds a rather limited group from which to select. The particular test for the inclusion of books in this list has been that of their proved practical value to younger business men. This does not imply, by any means, that the list is not meant as well for business men of wide experience, nor does it imply that the principles and theories underlying general business and its various ramifications have been ignored. In each sub-division of the list, whenever possible, the best book or books elucidating the basic theory of that particular phase of business have been included. But it has been discovered in actual daily work in a business library that the book which is most in demand and which is most often returned with the comment "That was exactly what I wanted," is the book which deals not so much with theory itself as with the operation of the theory, not so much with the psychology as with the practical application of the psychological principle to the specific problem, not so much with the plan as with the tested plan. Business men are as willing as any other group of men to learn from the experiences of others. It has been from this point of view, mainly, that this list has been compiled. Of so-called "inspirational books," for business men, only a few have been included, not for lack of appreciation of their real value and their undoubted popularity but rather because they form such a large group of titles that it is difficult to select from them with discrimination. A large number of very valuable and practical books come from schools which conduct correspondence courses in business. Many of these, particularly those from LaSalle Extension University and a few from the International Correspondence Schools, have been included in this list. The Alexander Hamilton Institute books have not been in- cluded because they are sold only to the students taking the course and are difficult to obtain second-hand. They contain excellent mate- rial, and will be found in many libraries. Ill IV PREFACE The books starred constitute suggestions for first purchases, par- ticularly for the smaller libraries which are beginning to feel the need of a special collection of business books — a collection such as no modern library can well afford to be without, if it expects to meet the needs of the day. No list of business books can be quite complete without at least a brief mention of the large mass of material of interest and practical value to the business world which lies outside the realm of bound books and includes all sorts of pamphlet material, trade papers, house or- gans, statistics, maps, trade directories, special reports, federal, state and city documents, etc., etc. Much of this material it is impossible to list, much is ephemeral, and much varies with different communities, but it cannot long be ignored in the building up of a workable, up-to- date collection of business literature. ETHEL CLELAND. INTRODUCTION Why have we made this list? Because there is a demand for it, and we know it will be used. A few years ago books on business were scorned by Business men, and for good reasons. They were few in number and very poor. They were nearly all quite preachy in tone, were built on the "Log Cabin to White House" plan, and were written by persons who had never done business and did not know business. If the present day scope of the term "business books" is still not well known to you, glance over the list of subjects that are covered by this volume, remembering that it does not claim to include more than an outline of the v/hole field. You will hnd that the subjects begin with Ethics, Psychology and Personal Efficiency; that is, with morals of trade and industry, the brain of the human machine, and the art of getting the best possible service out of one's own mind and body. Here are subjects that are now thought to be proper for the study of a young man who wants to do something worth while in the indus- trial world. They are today quite generally admitted to be business topics. Again let me say, that if you are not familiar with modern business literature it will pay you well to run through this whole list of the subjects with which the 500 books here listed deal. It will suggest to you the tremendous studies that have been made in recent years in the subdivision and specialization of those managerial activities which guide all our industrial life. It will go far, also, toward convincing you that we have passed the day in which bookishness was thought to be a proper attribute of the "student" and professor only, and a hindrance rather than a help to the man of affairs. Wliere it used to be said in praise of a man, "He is hard-headed," it is now said, as the existence of the books in this list quite clearly discloses, "He reads !" What I have just said could not be said so confidently if the books here listed were merely published — and not used. But they are used, and to an increasing extent every day. It pays writers to write them, and it pays publishers to produce them, or they would not have come forth in recent years in such a flood that of them all the 500 here named is only a small part. The modern industrial worker is a user of print ; that is the out- standing fact which the present day flood of books in industry sets plainly before us. And daily the industrial worker reads more and V VI INTRODUCTION more ; and daily the habit of using print to his profit goes further down the Hne, from president and manager to superintendent, fore- man, expert workman and day laborer. This spread of the reading habit in our industrial world could have been predicted long ago, so inevitably has it grown out of our social habits and conditions. For nearly a hundred years we have held to and tried to put into practice, the doctrine that every child must be taught to read at public expense. We have not succeeded in making our practice conform pre- cisely to our doctrine; but we have given to millions the reading power, and to most of the millions a touch of the reading habit. Upon this nation-wide ability to read, the newspapers have built their as- tounding empire. Even the meanest of these newspapers has helj^ed to spread the habit of reading and thereby to increase the total of our reading skill. In no country in the world has the Little School Mas- ter of printer's ink been so constant in his teaching as he has in America. To the newspapers, in due course, were inevitably added the special journals, weekly and monthly, of every kind. Of these, the more po- tent teachers of reading are perhaps the popular ones whose glowing covers, most often of the feminine gender, makes our news stands so resplendent. But behind these, not so often soon on the public high- ways, but more definitely efl'ective in their teaching", has grown up a group of trade or technical journals. They are born evidently of two things, the habit of reading, which is the child of the printing press and the school, and the wish to learn more of one's calling, which is itself in part a product of the reading habit and in part of the compe- tition between industry and industry and between man and man. Within this field of the trade joui^nal, and the term inckides Cjuite naturally many journals devoted largely to science, there began to appear, a few years ago, journals devoted to the business side of in- dustry. The word business here is very elastic and is not capable of definition. As first used it probably included little more than office management. Indeed, the first journal that appeared in this field was perhaps one, born over 20 years ago, that called itself "Business," and devoted itself almost exclusively to ofiice affairs. But in time the "office" part of the term was dropped, and "business" was commonly held to include the whole field of "management." How wide this field is now found to be is suggested, as already noted, by the range of special topics covered by this list. INTRODUCTION VII This, then, given our general character and our opportunities, and the printing press, is what the prophetically minded could have for- seen 100 years ago : The schools and universal ability to read ; the readers, the printing press and cheap paper, and, therefore, the omni- present newspaper; the newspapers, encouraging the reading habit, and a tjiirst for news, which only the practice of the reading art can satisfy, and, therefore, more and more readers; industrial develop- ment among a migrant, resourceful and inquiring people in a land of unlimited resource, and, therefore, a habit of competing in industry which called out all that there was of power and knowledge in every competitor ; the competitor's demand for more knowledge of his spe- cial calling, and, therefore, the special trade and technical journal ; the further demand, by the leaders in competing industries and the super- intendents, managers, foremen, and more ambitious workers, for well- digested summaries in book form of the best that the special trade and business journals had put forth, and, therefore, the books on the list now in your hands. The moral is as o|)vious as the sequence of this belated prophecy : "The Habit of Reading possesses now the Business World, and Things Worth Reading are Read ; it is not Too Soon to Begin Read- ing on Your Own Business." Our modest hope is that this list will help a few to make useful ap- plication of the moral of this introduction. J. C. DANA. Public Library, Newark, N. J. October, 1919. VIII NOTES The War Library Service of the American Library Association presents this compilation in response to definite need for a list of books on the various phases of modern business and w^ith the desire to be of service to librarians and teachers who are concerned directly with the vocational education of the discharged soldier and sailor. It is hoped that the list will receive the same welcome and quick re- sponse as were given to "One Thousand Technical Books" compiled by Mr. Herbert L. Cowing and published by War Service in July, 1919, and that by means of these companion lists, librarians and the patrons of libraries will find the field of technical and business litera- ture fairly well covered. The work of compilation and annotation was done by Miss Ethel Cleland, Librarian of the Business Branch of the Indianapolis Public Library. At her request, a few annotations were made at War Service Headquarters for books so new as not to be available and for which no reliable reviews could be found. Having access to the shelves of the Library of Congress facilitated such work. These annotations, the indexes and sub-headings and some re-arrangement of subjects, as well as the general editing of the list are the work of Mrs. S. H. Pow- ell, a member of the stafif of the Book Selection Department. RENA REESE, October, 1919 Head of Book Department. NOTE The type for this list is being held by the printer. A stock will be kept on hand so that libraries wishing copies in quantity beyond those distributed free in the initial distribution may buy them at cost. Li- braries wishing reprints of any section of this list 6r of "One Thou- sand Technical Books" may arrange for them at cost. Libraries and others interested are invited to make suggestions for the improve- ment of the lists either by way of correcting errors, or by suggesting titles suitable for addition or omission.
