Landmarks and Milestones, Index. ***'Sir Allen Lane (1902-70), who pioneered the paperback revolution and founded one of the best-known imprints in world publishing, may well be called one of the makers of the twentieth century. Before his name becomes too encrusted in legend, Sir William Emrys Williams, a close friend and collaborator from the earliest days, has wanted to set down a personal recollection of Allen Lane as he knew him, giving credit to his virtues but not disguising his faults. The result, beside giving curious insights into the unorthodox ways of the Penguin operation as it developed from its modest origins, is an affectionate and thoroughly life-like portrait of a great publisher. (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A first printing of the first edition of this book in near fine condition. A nice book for those interested in publishing history and, in particular, the history of Penguin Books. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N° de réf. du vendeur 8885
