OUR LADY IN CATHOLIC LIFE, by lawrence G. lovasik, S.V.D., rather inacurr 1tely described by Macmillan as a "careful and complete presentation of Rom. ;1 Catholic belief concerning the Blessed Virgin Mary," is actually a book o meditations on Marian feasts and titles of the litany of Loreto. The price, i5.95, seems high for a book of this kind ...

Brother Benito Moral, S. M. Almost all of the Spanish books received at the Marian library are secured for us by our Madrid fieldworker, Brother Benito Moral, S.M. In the past ten years he has P':'rchased over 600 old and new books for the library. Brother Moral is a Marian author himself. His most recent work, MAS ALMAS MARIANAS, was pub~ lished in 1956. Two of his earlier books are ALMAS MARIANAS and HE AQUI A TU MADRE. We sincerely appreciate the many hours of service which he has given to help develop the Spanish book collection of the Marian library.
