JUPITER BOOKS (JOHN CALDER; CALDER & BOYARS)

Series Note: "The Jupiter series has been introduced to bring the best of twentieth-century literature, authors and titles of wide reputation, to a larger reading public at prices only slightly higher than those of mass-market paperbacks." (Source: Back cover of Robbe-Grillet's Jealousy in this series.)

"The Jupiter series intended to collect together in inexpensive paperback form the most outstanding works of world literature and important contributions to knowledge in many fields. The series has proved to be very successful and has been described by The Times Literary Supplement as 'an indispensable part of the literary scene.' " (Final pages of Burroughs' The Soft Machine (Calder & Boyars, 1970.)
