Global Series Edit HistoryMember poppycocteau

Set of 5" x 8" hardback books published by Paperview UK for the Irish Independent Newspaper. The books were available weekly beginning April 2009 for €4.99 and a token cut out from the Saturday edition of the paper.

The Travellers' Library is published as a joint enterprise by Jonathan Cape and William Heinemann. A series of books in all branches of literature designed for the pocket, or for the small house where shelf space is scarce. Though the volumes measure only 7 inches by 4 3/4 inches, the page is arranged so that the margins are not unreasonably curtailed nor legibility sacrificed. The books are of a uniform thickness irrespective of the number of pages, and the paper, specially manufactured for the series, is remarkably opaque, even when it is thinnest. A semi-flexible form of binding has been adopted, as a safeguard against the damage inevitably associated with hasty packing. The cloth is an attractive shade of blue and has the title and author's name stamped in gold on the back. [Description from catalogue included in the backs of the series, 1930]
