This pamphlet aims to place in the hands of
interested people a condensed list of what has been
written about recreation. There is no attempt to
make this an exhaustive list. Only the most up-
to-date books, pamphlets, and magazine articles
dealing directly with recreation in its many phases
have been included. We shall be glad to hear of
other publications for future mention.
The arrangement is by subjects, with annotations
on the more formal publications, many of which
deal with other phases of recreation than the sub-
ject under which they are listed. A book or pam-
phlet is listed but once. At the end of each section
reference is made by number to other sections which
may contain similar material.
The local public library will doubtless already
have many of the books, pamphlets, and maga-
zines listed. Where funds are available, the library
authorities are usually glad to add new material for
which there is an evident demand.
NOTE: The Russell Sage Foundation has in stock
only its own publications and can not furnish any of
the others listed. Orders should be sent directly to the
publishers whose addresses will be found on pages
32-35.
