These were books already published and known to be fairly popular, including detective novels by Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, and an autobiography by Beverly Nichols. The two most prestigious books were Ernest Hemingway's war novel "A Farewell to Arms", and the biography of Percy Bysshe Shelley "Ariel" written by André Maurois. The first ten Penguins were an immediate success, sold through a range of outlets - bookstalls, bookshops and also department and chain stores. Within a week of the launch Woolworth's alone asked for a further 63,000 copies. The venture had become an immediate success and Penguin Books were here to stay. Most of the titles sold out fairly quickly and had to be re-printed and Allen Lane went ahead with more titles. ***A second impression of the first ever published Penguin book: André Maurois: "Ariel".
