The appearance in Glasgow of the largest yearly exhibition of children's books in Britain will give a wonderful opportunity for Scottish people to see and buy the latest books for children as well as old favorites, both hardback and paperback. The age-range covered will stretch from worthless picture books for the youngest to almost-adult novels. In its early years, the Children's Book Show was intended for specialist visitors, mainly teachers and librarians. As it became more widely known and successful, however, family and school parties began to come in ever-increasing numbers, so that it grew into a real children's book show, and a show with a double purpose. For years it was held in various halls in London, outgoing each of them in turn until, in answer to enthusiastic invitations to bring it to different parts of the country, the decision was taken to move outside the capital, despite the difficulties that would result. One year it was held in Leeds, then in Bristol as well as in London, and now it comes to Glasgow. The great success of this move to bring the show to cities many miles from London, where of course most book publishers are, has been largely due to the support given to the organizing committee by local booksellers, librarians, teachers, parents and others. This year's show will again interest both the general public and specialists. Admission will be free, but school parties must be booked in advance. In a large room near the entrance there will be a self-service bookshop where every book on show will be for sale.
