Weren't there no Penguin paperbacks in USoA? They started doing essentially the same thing in 1935.

I recently bought a cheap, delightfully printed, otherwise hard-to-find Kaufmann translation of Goethe’s Faust.
One of the advantages of "quality paperbacks" is that they are handy. American publishers seem to produce their hardbacks for a library trade in which a volume will be handled roughly every week.
