The Augustan Reprint Society is a non-profit, scholarly organization, run
without overhead expense. By careful management it is able to offer at
least six publications each year at the unusually low membership fee of
$2.50 per year in the United States and Canada, and $2.75 in Great Britain
and the continent.
Libraries as well as individuals are eligible for membership. Since the
publications are issued without profit, however, no discount can be allowed
to libraries, agents, or booksellers.
New members may still obtain a complete run of the first year's
publications for $2.50, the annual membership fee.
