The Bookman, "a literary journal published monthly,” was started by Dodd, Mead & Co. in February, 1895. It contained reviews of books, magazines and newspapers, articles on authors and notes on the theater. Its editor, Harry Thurston Peck, was the first to call into play a "Best Seller” list. It continued in circulation until 1933. Though best known for his patriotic World War I recruitment posters, Christy calls his fresh-faced, slightly seductive young women into the promotional service of The Bookman, wistfully whiling away the hours in the company of quality reading.
