Pocket Book errors corrrected[edit]

Pocket Books were not invented by the publisher Pocket Books in the 1930s but at least as early as John Newbery's Pocket Books in 1744, as a popular paperback series in England, and later in America (starting 1787). I have corrected the text and put in the external link which proves that this statement is correct and allows the reader to see the actual original pocket books. I have correct the page's horrific errors.

Simon, Gallery and Pocket[edit]

As of September, 2014, it seems that Pocket is an imprint of Gallery, or at least a peer, and not the other way around, as shown in the list of imprints.

Founder of Pocket Books[edit]

According to Michael Korda's memoir Another life, Pocket Books was the idea of Robert De Graff but he got nowhere with the idea while Leon Shimkin who "wrested the idea away from him" founded Pocket Books. This is in contradiction to de Graff's obituary in NY Times which lists him de Graff as founder although they mention funding by Simon, Schuster and Shimkin. Would be helpful if someone can determine which is true. Jaldous1 (talk) 23:58, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is this imprint dead?[edit]

This article on the 10th anniversary of Gallery Books describes that imprint as the "love child of the merger of Pocket Books and Simon Spotlight Entertainment." Simon & Schuster's Divisions and Imprints page doesn't list Pocket any more, and PocketBooks.com now redirects to their Gallery Books page. If Simon & Schuster is no longer publishing books under this imprint, the article should reflect that. But I haven't been able to find a reliable source explicitly saying that the Pocket Books imprint is no longer active. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 20:36, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
