Just as movies today have many more sources of income than just box office grosses – streaming, cable, DVDs, soundtracks, merchandise, etc. – and may wind up with larger revenues from the little-talked-about post-release bonanzas, books have ways of making money for the publisher and author long after the first edition leaves the printer. These subsidiary rights can provide crucial payments at times when other cash flows slow down.
Reprinting hardback titles in cheaper editions, sometimes also hardback, often in paperback, goes back hundreds of years, but became a huge business to itself in the 19th century after the rotary press was introduced. This allowed continuous printing on huge rolls of paper, and newspapers, magazines, and book publishers churned out titles in the tens and then hundreds of thousands of copies.
The paperback industry took a huge leap in 1939, when Pocket Books imitated the British Penguin editions, issuing a line of 25¢ paperbacks that could fit into a purse or jacket pocket. They instantly sold millions. Other publishers rushed to follow, despite the paper shortages soon caused by the war. Mysteries dominated. Fantasy and science fiction were so hard to find that a complete collection of 1940s titles could fit into a small box. Only in the 1950s did a few mainstream publishers start noticing the genre. Ace and Ballantine had particularly notable lines of f&sf, although still a small percentage of their offerings. Only one dedicated f&sf imprint was started from inside the field, the Galaxy Science Fiction Novels, and those only issued a few titles a year and never prospered. Nevertheless, if other publishers wanted a title, they had to pay the original publisher for rights, with the industry standard being that 50% went to the original publisher and 50% to the author. This was essentially money for nothing, and also brought the author’s name to a larger audience, since paperback print runs were 10 to 100 times larger than the originals.
Marty Greenberg naturally craved paperback reprints. About three dozen Gnome titles appeared in paperback before Gnome crumbled in 1963, not including the four Judith Merril anthologies, the Groff Conklin anthology, and Drunkard’s Walk, each of which was originated by the paperback publisher. Unfortunately, no records are left that reveal details on the Gnome side nor did paperback companies normally give out any information at all. Some of the titles did well enough to go into multiple printings or get later printings when the prices rose. I’ve scoured the ISFDB to glean all pre-1963 editions listed for Gnome titles. Some of the later titles may have been arranged directly with the author. I’ve eliminated an Isaac Asimov reprint for this reason, but new data would need to found to decide about others.
American science fiction dominated the world market in the 1950s, with no country except the UK producing more than a small number of home-grown authors and even the UK couldn’t withstand the American avalanche. European publishers especially wanted American authors for books and to fill out magazines. Eleven European countries reprinted fiction that Gnome had first published in hardback, and so did Japan and Brazil. Canada is a special case, with several Gnome titles apparently being printed there either simultaneously or shortly after the American release; mentions of titles in Canadian newspapers sometimes even precede those in America. Each individual sale could only have been for a small amount, but considering that authors fought Greenberg over tens of dollars, none could be insignificant.
Unquestionably the most beautiful Gnome-related book I have is the Japanese publisher Kodansha’s edition of Undersea Fleet. The book is published right to left and the Japanese-lettered side of the dust jacket features a spectacular sea monster while the English language reverse pictures a coral reef; the images repeat on the boards. The monocolored tinted endpapers have an underwater scene complete with robot and spaceship. A full-color foldout has a submarine on one side and a map on the other. Dozens of black and white illustrations dot the text. Gnome Press is mentioned explicitly on the English-language title page. Since this is the middle book of the series, one assumes that the other two titles made it into print, but none of them are mentioned on the ISFDB or come up through online searches until much later printings. Yet the Frederik Pohl papers at Syracuse include an unimpeachable fact that he had received a $1,000 advance on Undersea City and that $168.75 was due from the Japanese sale. The internet also reveals a letter from the Charles E. Tuttle company paying Greenberg $175.00 for the Japanese translation rights to Children of the Atom. Tuttle’s name is also on Fleet. Who knows how many more Gnomes were brokered?
My copy was Greenberg’s file copy, and I have numerous other file copy foreign reprints in my collection, some of whose covers are shown below. There can be no doubt that Greenberg worked hard to garner sales from around the around. Many more must still be out there waiting to be found and recorded, especially in Japan and South America. The table below combines my personal copies with what is in the ISFDB.
Hardback books were sold to the “trade,” i.e., bookstores and large department stores that had book sections rivaling the specialty stores in size. Libraries also bought almost exclusively hardcovers. (That why paperbacks of the same size as the originals but with paper covers are called trade paperbacks, as contrasted to the pocket-sized mass-market paperbacks, sold at newsstands, drugstores, and five & dime stores, and digest-sized paperbacks, which were the size of the Reader’s Digest or sf magazines like Astounding after 1944.) A few publishers saw an opportunity for getting books into the hands of readers who couldn’t afford the $2.00-$3.00 that a normal hardback cost. They produced cheap knockoffs, with less expensive boards and paper, that sold in five and dimes for $0.50-$1.00, and were often put on sale to get rid of stock. Hardback reprints were not a niche market like the small f&sf presses served. Books by popular authors, especially mystery writers, went into multiple printings and are far easier to find – and much cheaper to buy – today than the first editions.
Grosset & Dunlap had been the biggest name in reprints since the 19th century. In 1950, the company, in the same general sudden recognition of the field that struck so many mainstream publishers at the same time, began a program called Science Fiction Classics. Instant classics, apparently, because its first title, Henry Kuttner’s Fury, was a true first hardback edition. They couldn’t have been a success; only six more titles appeared through 1952. One of them, however, was a true reprint of I, Robot. G&D kept Gnomes cover but gave it a green rather than red background, confusing collectors to this day. Sheer speculation suggests that Greenberg might have seen these books and worried that they would eat into his sales, and that would account for the four trade paperbacks of his own that appeared in 1951 and 1952 without any other explanation. No matter. Both G&D and Gnome were pushed out of the cheap reprint market in 1953, when Doubleday’s Science Fiction Book Club got rolling. Two of the earliest selections were from Gnome – The Mixed Men and Sands of Mars – and Second Foundation soon followed. Why no more Gnome titles appeared is another mystery
One other reprint venue also used a Gnome title. Few f&sf magazines of the 1950s are more obscure than Two Complete Science-Adventure Books. A companion to Planet Stories, published by Fiction House, the magazine intended to reprint two short (or probably shortened) novels three times a year, although it quickly found that new fiction by young authors was even cheaper to run. Nevertheless, one of the 22 stories that appeared before its quick death was Minions of the Moon, which it managed to squeeze into 42 printed pages. Who wanted that?
To squeeze the tables into a portrait format from my original landscape, I’ve reduced the author column to give last names only and the title column to feature one key word. The key to the originals is given in the next table.
