Pan
Pan Books was founded by Alan Bott, owner of The Book
Society, and registered as a limited company in September 1944. Over the
course of the next 8 years a minority share of 48% was picked up by a
consortium of four leading publishers: William Collins, Macmillan, Wm
Heinemann and - for a short while - Hodder and Stoughton.
In its first three years, Pan Books issued a few paperbacks and a small
range of hardbacks. The first, in 1945, was a special edition of Charles
Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
In 1947 Pan started publishing mass-market paperbacks
at a time when Penguin, founded 12 years earlier, was the only major
competitor. About 50 titles appeared in the first year, with initial print
runs in the region of 25,000 copies. The use of full-colour pictorial
covers created a tremendous impact.
Within a year of publishing its first list, Pan’s
total sales in the home and export market were 2 million copies. By 1964
this figure had risen to around 15 million copies, some 3 million of which
were Ian Fleming titles. In 1976, only twelve years later, world-wide
sales stood at 30 million copies. In 1987, Collins and Heinemann sold
their interests and Pan became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macmillan.
The Pan imprint publishes a very broad list of
popular fiction and non-fiction. Its list of bestselling authors, which it
shares with Macmillan, is impressive and includes Wilbur Smith, Minette
Walters, Clare Francis, Ken Follett, Richard North Patterson, Peter
Robinson, James Herbert, and David Baldacci.
In non-fiction, Pan has a strong reputation
particularly in the areas of history, military history and biography.
Notable recent publications in paperback include Michael Burleigh’s The
Third Reich (winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction in
2001) and Roy Jenkins’ magnificent biography of Churchill (Biography of
the Year, British Book Awards 2002).
Pan boasts an impressive list of original paperbacks. These include novels
by new authors as well as non-fiction titles in health and fitness and
astrology, reference books and travel guides.
Picador
The Picador imprint was launched in 1972 to publish
outstanding international writing in paperback. The first list included books by Angela Carter and Richard
Brautigan followed by Samuel Beckett and Thomas Pynchon. Picador’s first great
success came with the million-copy selling publication of Ken Kesey’s One
Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and then Alex Hailey’s Roots.
There followed a series of dynamic and distinctive
paperback originals representing many of the areas in which Picador has gained a
reputation: narrative non-fiction, travel writing, American fiction, and
contemporary memoir. These included Dispatches by Michael Herr, Edmund
White's A Boy’s Own Story, P J O'Rourke's Holidays in Hell, and
Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho.
In non-fiction Picador has published the works of Bruce
Chatwin (beginning with In Patagonia), the works of Eric Newby and
Jonathan Raban as well as Oliver Sacks' Awakenings and The Man Who
Mistook His Wife for a Hat.
Picador published the 1981 Booker winner, Midnight's
Children, and the 1985 Booker winner, Keri Hulme's The
Bone People.
In 1990 Picador underwent a period of considerable
expansion and began to develop its hardback list. It had its first Sunday Times
number one bestseller with Edmund White’s The Beautiful Room is Empty
and this was followed by Tim Winton’s multi-prize winning Cloudstreet. In 1992 the imprint published in paperback 4 of the 6
books on the Booker shortlist including the winner, Michael Ondaatje’s The
English Patient, and Patrick McCabe’s The Butcher Boy. In 1996
Graham Swift won the Booker Prize for Last Orders.
Picador has published a broad range of debut writers from
Andrew O’Hagan’s The Missing and Edward Platt’s multi-award-winning
Leadville to Whitbread First Novel Winners Rachel Cusk’s Saving
Agnes and Sid Smith’s Something Like a
House. Both Jackie Kay’s Trumpet and Mick Jackson’s The
Underground Man won the Author’s Club first novel award. Trezza Azzopardi’s
The Hiding Place was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and Susanna Jones
won the John Creasey and the Mail on Sunday Prize for The Earthquake
Bird.
In 1993 Kathy Lette joined the Picador list with The
Llama Parlour. Her latest novel, Nip ‘n’ Tuck, has sold well over
one million copies. Picador launched the literary career of Helen Fielding with Cause
Celeb and in 1996 and 1999 published Bridget Jones’s Diary and Bridget
Jones: The Edge of Reason, novels that have written themselves into literary
culture. In 2001 Bridget Jones’s Diary was the top-selling paperback
title in Great Britain, selling close to two million copies in its film tie-in
edition alone.
In 2000 V. S. Naipaul joined the list and Picador acquired
twenty three titles including the contemporary classics A House for Mr Biswas,
A Bend in the River, The Enigma of Arrival and such seminal non-fiction
works as The Middle Passage and Among the Believers. In October
2001 Naipaul was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, the first British
writer to win for eighteen years.
In August 2002, Picador published The Lovely Bones
by Alice Sebold, the literary novel which has taken America by storm, selling
almost 500,000 hardbacks, and in November 2002 Picador welcomed international
bestselling author Scott Turow to its list with his mesmeric Reversible
Errors.
