Abstract
The literary marketplace changed significantly from the 19th to the 20th century: industrialisation, new readership, and wars were as well reflected in the publishing industry. The attempts made by publishers to approach this new market with cheap books and high-quality literature varied. The case study of Reclam, a German publisher, analyses the aims and means used for marketing between the late 19th century and 1930 in order to demonstrate, that with revolutionary ideas like the book-automat or an export library, there was money to make. Finding the gaps and how to use movements for their own profit could lead to success and set trends.
