About this Item

Paper backs are 16.5 x 12.5 cm. The Desmond Flower title, 22 x 14 cm. 39 pages, published by Arborfield Products Ltd, London, 1959. The latter represents a paper read to the Double Crown Club in April 1959, and it is worth noting that Sir Allen Lane established Penguin Books in 1935. Paper Backs are fresh and crisp, interior and covers in near fine to fine condition as is the Desmond Flower book. The Boni series success heralded a publishing juggernaut, including the Book of the Month Club, followed by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer who used the latter as a foundation to build Random House. Our front cover illustrations are representative of the entire collection. Not all twenty pictured. Very good & Near fine, some covers in clear plastic jackets.
