O my darling books…how dear to me are they all! For have I not chosen them one by one, gathered them in with the sweat of my brow? I do love you all! It seems as if, by long and sweet companionship, you had become part of myself.
Antoine Issac, Baron Silvestre de Sacy

We believed in this country in the existence of a vast reading public for intelligent books at a low price, and risked everything on it.
Allen Lane, founder of Penguin Books
