Library is a series of reprinted classic literature currently published
in hardback by Random House. It was originally an imprint of J. M. Dent,
who continue to publish Everyman classics in paperback. The series began
publishing in 1906. It was conceived in 1905 by London publisher Joseph
Malaby Dent, whose goal was to create a 1,000 volume library of world
literature that was affordable for, and that appealed to, every kind of
person, from students to the working classes to the cultural elite. Dent
followed the design principles and to a certain extent the style
established by William Morris in his Kelmscott Press. This was later
replaced in 1935 by Eric Ravilious's designs. Everyman's Library books
were pocket-sized hardcovers that sold initially for what was then the
remarkably low price of a shilling apiece. The original U.S.
distribution rights were granted to New York City publishers, E. P.
Dutton
