②In 1934, Allen Lane, an English publisher, waiting for his train to London, looked through the bookstands at the station for something to read.
He found nothing that appealed to him among the popular magazins, the expensive hardbacks and the pulp fiction, and it occurred to him that what was needed was a series of cheap but good pocket-sized books.
Back at the publishing house where Lane worked with his two brothers, he put forward his plan.
They would publish a series of brightly colored paperback editions of the best authors.
Such books would not merely appeal to the common reader; they would attract everyone who could read.
They would sell books not only in bookstores and bookstalls, but also at tea-shops, stations and tobacconists.
