2. “Desire of Ages,” by Mrs. E. G. White. Besides the regular subscription edition, three new styles of this valuable book have been prepared: (a) An edition without illustrations to be sold to the trade; (b) A popular edition with narrow margins, to sell for $2.50; (c) An installment edition, printed on enameled book paper, with wide margins, issued in twenty-five parts with paper covers. This is our Edition de Luxe, and is to be sold especially to the wealthy in our large cities.GCB April 9, 1901, page 165.15

3. “Christ’s Object Lessons,” by Mrs. E. G. White. This is an illustrated subscription book of about 450 pages, and is so well known that it needs no further description. All understand that this book is being printed and sold without profit to anyone. All the proceeds go toward liquidating the debt on our educational institutions. The Pacific Press Publishing Company has agreed to manufacture, free of charge, 150,000 copies of this book, which means a donation of about $15,000 to our educational institutions. We have already printed 40,000 copies, and another edition of 20,000 is now on the press.GCB April 9, 1901, page 166.1

The Echo Publishing Company has purchased a set of electro plates, and will publish the book in Australia.GCB April 9, 1901, page 166.2
