This article presents information about various books. When Archibald Henderson in 1911 gratified an expectant public by supplying an authorized biography of George Bernard Shaw in more than five hundred pages, the mob of Shaw's admirers were deterred from buying the work chiefly because of its high price. Now a popular-priced edition of the book has been brought out with the same title "George Bernard Shaw: His Life and Works." In Father J.A. Zahm's little book on "The Quest of El Dorado," the author has assigned to himself the pleasant task of retelling in more popular vein the picturesque tales of adventure recorded of the first white explorations into the wilds of northern and northwestern South America.
