En 1935
un #éditeur du nom d' #AllenLane est entré dans une #gare et a posé une #question #radicale :
« Pourquoi un grand livre ne devrait-il pas #coûter aussi peu qu'un #paquet de #cigarettes ? »
Cette question a donné #naissance à la #révolution du #livre de #poche.

90th Anniversary 📚 #OTD in #History 30 July 1935, Sir #AllenLane of the #PenguinPress revolutionised the #publishing industry by releasing new affordable paperbacks. A huge hit with booksellers and readers, the iconic tomes were originally colour-coded according to genre.
So, I’m delighted to have been awarded the inaugural British Book Award for Social Impact at the Nibbies on Monday night and thank you all so much for your lovely messages
