The London Literary Scene

Abstract

To a literary lounger the most striking feature of the London scene at present is the ubiquity of paperbacks. They are displayed on revolving stands, like postcards; they litter the counters of multiple stores; they tumble from automatic machines; they form gaudy pyramids in bookshop windows; they even jostle hard‐cover remainders in the bargain boxes.
