'Mrs. Robert Hunter, Jr. of Chester, N.Y. recently received the one hundred millionth book distributed by the Book-of-the Month Club after 23 years of selling newly published books by mail. Mrs. Hunter, mother of three children, lives on a dairy farm which her husband owns and operates. Thinking that the feat of circulating so many books called for a celebration, the Book-of-the-Month Club invited Mrs. Hunter to New York City for lunch with Pearl Buck, famous Nobel Prize-winning writer, a copy of whose latest novel, "Kinfolk", was the one hundred millionth book. Here Miss Buck autographs a special copy of her book for Mrs. Hunter. Conversation at the luncheon table wasn't all literary, since Miss Buck also lives on a farm and enjoyed comparing notes with Mrs. Hunter. Mrs. Hunter joined the Book-of-the-Month Club in 1939, and has received more than 130 books from it.'
