    The Post-1965 Evolution of Penguin Books

    by Donald L. Foley

    October 1999

    Penguin Publishing: A Brief History

    We have dealt with the classic 1935-1965 period of Penguin book publishing in two previous essays (see A26 collection Finding Aid)
    Prior to 1970, Penguin Books was the quintessential British publisher. Mature, independent, with publicly traded shares (since 1962), the firm published mainly paperback books for a British market with strong world-wide exports as well. The firm was widely respected as a distinctive British institution. Its books were readily recognizable in their distinctive covers and set high standards for content and editorial quality. Allen Lane was very much in charge abetted by a remarkable editorial and production staff.
    When Allen Lane died in 1970, Penguin Books was absorbed into Longmans, in turn part of a very large Pearson PLC conglomerate. In subsequent years the Pearson organization engineered the acquisition of other book publishers, including some of major stature. Pearson/Penguin increased the number of titles published and broadened the range of imprint names by which these titles were known.
    Even by 1970, and most certainly thereafter, competitive pressures impinged on Penguin Books. It was losing its hegemony in the distinctive paperback market it helped to create.. Competing paperback publishers were luring away some best-selling authors. American-style popular paperbacks were picking up market share. So when Penguin was absorbed into the Pearson publishing organization the time was ripe for adaptive change. The next decades were to see Penguin move vigorously into the big American paperback market with several strategic acquisitions of large American publishers. Penguin also internationalized its publishing operations, relying increasingly on its American publishing units and creating new publishing units in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and, recently, India.
    During the period from 1970 to the present Penguin, in effect, at least partially Americanized its publishing. Many books produced as Penguins became indistinguishable from other American paperbacks. American publishing executives were brought in to fill key Penguin executive posts. With its growing United States market so dominant and with acute publishing problems having to be confronted in its American units, top Penguin executives (especially Peter Mayer) were sometimes forced to spend a disproportionate amount of time in the United States away from Penguin's traditional British headquarters.
    There were times, particularly during the 1980s, when Penguin faced difficulties. But the overall organization appears to have remained resilient and, as of the late 1990s, Penguin publishing seemed to be thriving.

    Penguin Publishing: A Selective Chronology

    When Sir Allen Lane died in July 1970 he left no successor. By pre-arrangement, the firm was sold within days to the Longman Group within the larger Pearson firm. Pearson PLC at that time also included The Financial Times , Pearson Television, and the Tussaud Group.
    In 1973, Penguin Canada and Penguin New Zealand were launched. Along with Penguin Australia, which had a longer history, these regional units published their own titles and distributed titles produced in Britain and the United States.
    The Longman Group and Penguin Books purchased Viking Books, the large American publishing firm, in 1975. The American branch of Penguin became known as Viking Penguin.
    Peter Mayer, an American, served as the Chief Executive of the British-based, worldwide Penguin Group within Pearson from 1978 until 1996. He led the revitalization of Penguin. Significantly, the Penguin name remained the dominant label for a major segment of Pearson's book publishing.
    Penguin acquired Frederick Warne, with its Beatrix Potter titles, in 1983.
    Two years later Penguin acquired the Thompson group, which included the Michael Joseph and Hamish Hamilton imprints.
    In 1985 Penguin celebrated its 50th anniversary. Penguin, in cooperation with the Penguin Collectors' Society, put a special exhibition on public display at London's Royal Festival Hall. Penguin also published Fifty Penguin Years, a handsomely illustrated account. And Penguin produced a boxed set of facsimiles of the first 10 books in the Penguin main series. In subsequent years, other Penguin series celebrated their respective 50th anniversaries.
    The New American Library Group was acquired in 1986. (New American Library back in 1948 had taken over American Penguin, with the main fiction series becoming Signet and the American Pelican series becoming Mentor.) In 1992 Signet was relaunched in Britain.
    In 1995 Penguin celebrated its 60th anniversary by publishing small attractive commemorative paperbacks termed Penguin 60s, Penguin 60s Classics, Penguin Children's 60s. and Penguin Travel 60s.
    Soon after, Michael Lynton, another American, replaced Peter Mayer as CEO of the Penguin Group in 1996, Penguin acquired the Putnam Berkley Group, a major book publishing conglomerate. This brought in some best-selling Putnam authors and titles. And it brought in a fresh new set of imprints. The American publishing arm was renamed Penguin Putnam.
    Pearson PLC, the parent company, in 1997 appointed Marjorie Scardino, an American, as its Manging Director and Dennis Stevenson as its new Chairman.

    The Current Organization of Pearson/Penguin Publishing

    As of 1999, Pearson PLC had four major functional groups:
    • Penguin Group. Included all of Pearson's non-educational book business. In 1998 the Group, in conjunction with PolyGram, started Penguin classical music labels.
    • Pearson Education. The world's largest educational publisher, augmented by acquisition of Simon and Schuster textbook division in 1998 for $4.6 billion. Very large American business.
    • Pearson Television. The world's largest indepndent international television producer.
    • Financial Times Group. Included The Financial Times. Also other interests, including The Economist.
    As of 1999, Penguin UK was organized into two publishing divisions:
    • Penguin General Books. Included Viking, Hamish Hamilton and Michael Joseph imprints and much of the Penguin imprint.
    • The Penguin Press. Included Penguin Classics, Twentieth Century Classics and Allen Lane The Penguin Press imprints and some of the Penguin imprint.
    As of 1999, Penguin Putnam Inc. USA was the American publishing organization. It had two groupings of imprints:
    • Penguin Group imprints. Hardbacks included Viking, Dutton, Donald J. Fine, DAW. Paperbacks included Penguin, Penguin Classics, Plume, Signet, Onyx, Mentor, Meridian, Arkana. Children's books included Dial, Dutton, Viking, Puffin, Warne.
    • Putnam Berkley imprints. Hardbacks included Putnam, Riverhead and others. Paperbacks included Berkley, Joyce, Ace, Riverhead, Peigee and others. Children's included Putnam, Philomel, Grosset and Dunlap and others.
    Some 65 "non-Penguin" imprints published under the broad "Penguin" umbrella are listed in Table 10 following this essay. Most of these imprints came in as acquisitions. Some reflected even earlier mergers or acquisitions prior to being picked up by Pearson/Penguin.
    What changes three and a half decades have brought! Allen Lane might well have been delighted that the Penguin idea and name has exerted so powerful an influence over the years. But he would no doubt have been shocked by the countless unPenguinlike books that have been published under a Penguin label.

    Evolving Penguin Series

    An informational note: The first line, usually in capital letters, of the short-title page of each Penguin (or Puffin) book provides important information.
    • If book is in Penguin main series and not in a subseries, it states "PENGUIN BOOKS".
    • If book is a Puffin and has a short-ttitle page, it states "PUFFIN BOOKS". But many recent Puffin Books lack short-title pages.
    • If book is in a Penguin series other than main series and is not in a subseries, it states the name of the series (e.g., "PELICAN BOOKS" or "PENGUIN POETS").
    • If book is in a subseries, it states the name of the subseries (e.g., "THE PELICAN HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES" or "PENGUIN MODERN POETS").
    The Penguin main series had, as of 1999, run for 64 years. In early decades, this main series embraced mainly fiction titles and its books were distinguished by their orange covers and spines. By the 1970s and 1980s more and more titles that previously would have been assigned to other Penguin series came to be included in the main series. By 1990 even the nonfiction Pelican series with its distinctive blue spines and covers was abandoned and these titles allocated to the main series. In effect, the main series has taken on an omnibus character. As if in sympathy, many or most of the Penguin main series no longer have orange spines. Only the Mystery and Crime series titles have generally retained their distinctive green spines up to the present. The rest of the early color-coding was given up.
    From about 1966 to 1974 Penguin vigorously promoted books intended for educational use, to serve a wide range of school and university levels.. Within the broad grouping, Penguin Education, additional series and subseries were introduced, including Penguin Modern Psychology, Connexions, Penguin English Poets, Penguin Modern Economics, Penguin Modern Sociology Readings, Penguin Passnotes and Penguin Poetry Library. This major enterprise was aborted by the mid-1970s. (It would later be re-promoted with vigor, through a different unit, currently known as Pearson Education and identified in the previous section.)
    A new hardback imprint, Allen Lane The Penguin Press, was started in 1967. Allen Lane modelled this on his uncle's earlier firm, John Lane The Bodley Head. Lane even managed to acquire the earlier firm's building to house his new enterprise. The new imprint, intended as a prestige line of books, turned out to be only moderately successful.
    In 1967-69 Penguin brought out selected titles of several Penguin series in hard-cover Library Editions, but this effort was judged unsuccessful and dropped.
    Picture Puffins replaced Puffin Picture Books in 1968 as a major series of children's illustrated books. Puffin Story Books continued with great success. (By 1970, Puffin Books replaced Puffin Story Books as imprint name.) By the 50th anniversary of this series in 1991, over 4,000 Puffin titles had been published. As of that date Puffin sales reportedly amounted to half of all Penguin Book sales.
    ISBN-coding came into use in 1970-71. The Penguin publishers code became "0-14", followed by the main series code of "00". This accommodated 10,000 titles. In about 1988, this series code shifted to "01", for the next 10,000 titles. The series code for Pelican Books had been "02" from 1971 to 1990. In 1994, the remainder of the "02" series code was re-allocated to the main series, for the next 7,500 or so titles. Other Penguin series usually carried distinctive series codes (e.g., "044" for most Penguin Classics, "046" for Penguin Handbooks). New series, merging series and discontinued series spelled considerable confusion in ISBN codes (which most book handlers would not possibly have been aware of or troubled by).
    The Penguin Classics series, started in 1946, has continued to date, and was augmented in the mid 1980s by transfers from the Penguin English Library, the Penguin American Library, and the Penguin Poets series. To commemorate its 50th anniversary, a handsome catalogue of Penguin Classics was published in 1996. It included an historical essay by Steve Hare.
    The original King Penguin series of 76 volumes came to a halt in 1959. A later series bearing the same King Penguin name was initiated in 1981 for selected fiction and ran for several years, to the consternation of devotees of the original King Penguins.
    Many earlier series have continued in essentially their earlier style and spirit. These include: Penguin Poets, Penguin Handbooks, Penguin Reference Books, Penguin Pl ays, Peregrome Books, Allen Lane The Penguin Press, Puffin Books, and Picture Puffin Books.
    In 1983 Granta: A Paperback Magazine of New Writing came within the Penguin family. Granta continued to be published by Granta four times a year and to carry its own distinctive cover design. But it was now distributed by Penguin and added Penguin logos on its cover and spine. (In its ISBNcoding, Granta was treated as a subseries of Penguin's main series.) In picking up Granta Penguin renewed an earlier interest, having published Penguin New Writing from 1940 to 1950.
    The post-1965 Penguin series are listed in Tables 8A and 8B. Penguin subseries are listed in Table 9.

    The Foley Post-65 Penguin Collection

    This portion of the Foley Collection of Penguin Books provides a glimpse of the growth and changes in Penguin publishing from 1966-1999. It is donated by Katharine and me in memory of our son, William Ross Foley.
    The task of keeping track of Penguin books published after1965 has been more difficult than documenting Penguin publishing from 1935-65. As Penguin became part of the Pearson firm and as additional publishers were brought in, the situation was often fluid.. Many non-Penguin book imprints were brought under the Penguin publishing umbrella. Some imprints were merged with Penguin series. Some imprints retained their previous imprint names and styles. By the late 1990s a collector or observer could recognize different degrees of "Penguinness":
    • Traditional Penguin books that maintained a sense of continuity with pre-1965 series character and cover designs.
    • Books with Penguin name and Penguin logo (penguin-in-oval) but with cover designs, imprint names and/or other features that were not traditionally Penguin.
    • Books that were Penguin only in the loosest sense of being published by Penguin (and so stated on the reverse of the title page), but otherwise not distnguishable as Penguins
    In our modest working collection of post-1965 Penguin books, we have mainly dealt with the first type -- the more traditional Penguin books. We have also included selected examples of the second type. We have included only a very few examples of the third type.
    The collection in particular provides examples of distinctive series and subseries. Over the years, series and subseries have emerged and disappeared, sometimes absorbed into other series or subseries. The collection makes no pretense of providing an exhaustive picture.
    Our post-1965 collection contains a considerably higher proportion of books printed in the U. S. than was the case for the 1935-1965 collection. In the earlier colleciton there were 176 "American Penguin" titles, most of which were printed in the U. S. Other than those American Penguin books, only 26 books (about 1%) of the collection were printed in the U. S. By contrast, in the post-1965 collection about one-third of the books were printed in the U. S. And the proportion rises in the most recent years. We cannot be sure that this reflects the overall publishing production picture. But in any event many more Penguin titles now available to Americans are printed right here in this country.
    At the time of its transfer to The Bancroft Library in 1999, this A27 portion of Penguin Books included:
    • Penguin books published 1966-1999, numbering 568. Most of these carry direct Penguin or Puffin imprints, representing 61 series and 47 subseries.
    • About 65 reference books, monographs, catalogs or ephemera that have been added to the reference portion of the A26 Collection. Table 4 (following the essays in the A26 Finding Aid and listing reference material) has been updated. These reference items and the index to them now serve both the A26 and the A27 collections.
    • Index entries that have been added to Table 5 (Collection A26 Finding Aid). This brings the index to reference items up to date through Oct. 1999. Users of the index are also encouraged to make direct use of A Penguin Collector's Companion (Penguin Collectors' Society, rev. edit., 1997), a mini-encyclopedia on many facets of Penguin books and publishing.which has now been added as a reference item. Its alphabetized entries are not included in the main index to reference materials.
    • Updated computerized data base. As with the A26 collection, the main data base for this A27 collection is organized at two levels:
      1. Book. With descriptive information about each book. In addition to normal bibliographic description, the data include: series and/or subseries, cover designer/illustrator, condition of book (and dustjacket, if any) and, in some cases, additional comments.
      2. Series and subseries. With information about each of the 96 series that are identified. Nearly one-fourth of the books in the A26 collection also fall within subseries. There is also information about each of 64 subseries.
      The data base also includes an annotated listing of all the reference items. And it includes the items that make up the index to reference materials.
    • This essay on post-1965 developments and on the A27 collection, with accompanying Tables 8A, 8B, 9 and 10. Tables 8A, 8B and 9 list Penguin (and Puffin) series and subseries. Table 10 lists non-Penguin imprints published 1986-99 within he larger Penguin Group. These tables -- reflecting the data base from which they are drawn -- also include series and subseries for which the collection lacks examples
    A final terminological note: In the post-65 period the term "Penguin" could mean either Penguin imprint (typically, "Penguin Books", which we'd expect to find at the foot of the title page and usually on the short-title page) or Penguin publisher (in recent years, "Penguin Group", which we'd expect to find at or near the head of publisher information on the reverse of the title page). Which usage is employed depends on the context. One further clarification: Generally, we speak of Penguin imprint, but, more precisely, this usually refers to either Penguin or Puffin imprints. Puffin imprints are for children's books. At some periods in Penguin history, "Penguin" appeared on the title page for Puffin titles; for most recent periods, "Puffin" has appeared on the title page. It is simpler to say "Penguin" than always to say "Penguin or Puffin".

    TABLE 10: Non-Penguin Imprints within Pearson/Penguin Publishing

    This list of imprints is no doubt incomplete, particularly for British imprints. The list comes mainly from American sources. The imprint names and the types of books to which they applied may have varied over time. Even so, our list provides a feel for the complex array of imprints not directly bearing a Penguin name on the cover or title page, but showing in fine print on the verso page that the imprint was published under Pearson/Penguin publishing umbrella. Only a very few examples in the A27 Collection.
