Does anyone know of, or has used, this archive at NYU? I do
not know of any other paperback publisher (such as Lion or
Fawcett) that has records in U.S. libraries (does anyone?).
Here is a brief description: NAL was established as an
autonomous American publishing house after branching off from
its British-based parent company, Penguin Books. Based in New
York, NAL began in 1948 to produce affordable paperback
reprints of classics and scholarly works, as well as popular,
pulp, and
"hard-boiled" fiction. Non-fiction, original, and hardcopy
issues were also later produced. NAL imprints included Signet
fiction, Mentor non-fiction, Signet science, Signet Classics,
Signet Key, Mentor-Omega and Mentor Executive Library.
Highlights of the collection include extensive anecdotal and
personal correspondence of writers, namely: Erskine Caldwell
(totaling 46 folders), James T. Farrell, and Mickey
Spillane.
