Correspondence:
Letter from Allen Lane, Penguin Books, Harmondsworth, to
David Hedges, 18 December 1962. Lane conveys his satisfaction
with the results achieved by the Company during the year (Home
Sales increased by 8.5%, Exports by 19% over 1961). Suggests a
closer link up between the Home and Export departments and
proposes rearranging the Sales Management function by forming a
Sales Management Group consisting of Ron Blass, Paul Scherer,
Bob Davies, Christopher Dolley, Robin Hill, and John Rolfe.
Photocopy of a letter from Allen Lane, Penguin Books,
Harmondsworth, to F.W. Nolan, 27 October 1967. Lane regrets
Nolan’s decision to leave the Company as he ad formed a very
high opinion of Nolan’s capability. Asks Nolan to meet with him.
Letter from Allen Lane, Penguin Books, Harmondsworth, to W.B.
Ford, 21 November 1967. Lane wishes Ford success with his new
DM1613: David Hedges

paperback bookshop and adds that “It is good to hear that what has
been going on at Harmondsworth for the last few months is being
realised outside. I may say that there is quite a different feeling
around.”
Letter from W. Ford to Sir Allen Lane, August/September 1968.
Ford. Ford asks “Where Sir, are Penguins going.” As a sales
representative for the firm [in East Anglia], Ford is “disturbed that
the Books, particularly fiction, we publish and the presentation we
use are undermining a reputation which has taken me 18 years to
achieve. Make no mistake, Sir, many of the covers are as
dishonest as those of some of competitors used in the past, and
marketing methods and sales promotions are for the most part
cheap and nasty. Our overall policy which used to stand for
excellence, above all else has given way to what seems to me, a
deliberate courting of the “Pop” market with all its lack of
standards.”
Letter from Allen Lane, Priory Farm, Beech Hill, Berkshire, to
W.B. Ford, 18 October 1968. Lane is convalescing at Beech Hill
but doubts he will be mobile for a while. He believes the firm has
“not looked back since that momentous meeting in the canteen
when you and your colleagues were able to express yourselves as
strongly as you liked on the then policy.”
Letter from “Bill” [W. Ford] to David Hedges, 22 [February or
July] 1989. Ford encloses a copy of the letter he wrote to Sir
Allen Lane in 1968 concerning the “the activities of Tony Godwin
and his henchmen Richard Holme, Tony Jollye etc.!” He details
the background to the incident, including being invited to Lane’s
flat to discuss his concerns, meeting Lane’s “girl friend”, and
Lane’s promise to do something about the situation.
