Avon Book Review

Avon is a paperback publisher famous for creating the historical romance genre and inventing the bodice ripper. They were a polar opposite to the literary houses and were viewed as a scourge by them.

Manko's work, as well as her skillful writing, avoid clichés. She analyses one cultural expectation that persists today, which is that women can only earn money for humanitarian reasons.

About Avon Publishing

Avon Books was founded by the American News Corporation in 1941 as a rival to Pocket Books. They published a variety of genres initially. Avon Books entered the market for romance in 1972 with Kathleen Woodiwiss’s novel The Flame and the Flower. They quickly became a major player in the industry. Avon shifted its focus to romance following Newscorp acquired Hearst's publishing division and merged it into Harper Collins. They are now an imprint of HarperCollins which also owns Harlequin.

Initially, Avon published digest-sized paperbacks (similar to the current Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine) in series such as Avon Western Reader and Avon Science Fiction Reader. Avon also published a handful of comic books. Joseph Meyers hired a staff of well-experienced and well-connected editors which included Donald A. Wollheim, who's stories of science fiction and fantasy have been highly coveted by collectors.

As a paperback publisher, Avon was one of the first publishers to recognize that women were a large and untapped market for its books. The sales representatives of Avon were generally thought to be middle-class women. In this way, Avon tried to appeal to women by offering books that were intellectually stimulating and enjoyable.

In addition to the classics, Avon also produced a line of more contemporary works by authors who were not well represented in the existing paperback market. Avon Bard featured translated works by Latin American authors like Marcio Souza, Joao Guimaraes Rose and others. In 1987, the Avon Bard imprint was merged with the more well-established Avon Camelot & Discus imprints.

After the merger, Avon focused solely on romance, and transferred its non-romance paperbacks and hardcovers to Morrow which is a sister company. As a result, Avon's books are cheaper than those of other publishers', and the company has earned its reputation based on quality and the value they offer.

Avon has been involved in scandals and February 2023 lawsuits brought by alleged sexual harassment victims however, the company continues to earn profits. It is also a major player on the ecommerce market. Avon is also committed to social responsibility, assisting breast cancer research as well as domestic violence initiatives.

About Avon Fiction

Avon Books began life in 1941 as a publisher of paperbacks and is one of the oldest in the world. The company was originally owned by American News Corporation, the publisher was established to serve as an alternative to Pocket Books. Avon's pocket-sized paperbacks were much more popular than the Pocket series in the early days. They included ghost stories, sexually explicit romances and fantasy novels. Hearst bought the company in 1959.

The 1970s were a decade of romance for Avon with multiple blockbuster titles making the bestseller lists. Kathleen Woodiwiss’ Shanna spent over 33 weeks on the bestseller list. It was followed by sexy romantics from newcomers Rosemary Rogers, and Elizabeth Lowell. The covers of Avon's sexy romances were gorgeous and featured men sporting arousing bosoms.

Later, Avon would publish a special monthly romance that was labeled as an "Avon Romance Treasure." The book had an attractive front cover as well as the phrase "clinch" printed on the back of the book. This banner was used to publish famous authors like Brenda Joyce and Susan Wiggs.

Avon launched special e-book titles each month, labeled "Avon Impulse". The major online retailers sold the electronic books. The imprint also made it easier for customers to get their hands on a physical copy of the book, thanks to print-on-demand technology producing hardcovers.

Today, Avon is an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. It has recently introduced Avon Impulse, a digital first imprint.

About Avon Non-Fiction

Avon Publications was founded in 1941 as a paperback publishing company. It is credited with being the first to publish historical romances. Today it is an imprint of HarperCollins and publishes only the top in commercial fiction.

As of 2010 Avon is publishing mainly romance novels in both mass market paperbacks and hardcover editions. Avon's novels are a mix of genres and are among the top authors in historical and contemporary fiction.

This is a fantastic prequel to the character Kerr Avon from Blake's 7 (BBC sci-fi from the 1980s). The author does a fantastic job of capturing the bantering style of dialogue that is so popular in the series. There are also many sexy scenes to keep the reader entertained. However, this book is only for fans of Blake's 7 and is not intended for anyone else.

Few historians have been as tolerant to corporations as Manko has been to Avon and she demonstrates how even a hugely successful company can be plagued by ineffective responses, blind spots poor decisions, and ineffective management. Her meticulous research and sharp understanding of business operations will be a surprise to many readers.

Avon is difficult to rank in terms of its significance in the development and growth of the romance genre. However it's definitely in the same league as Mills & Boon, Harlequin and other major publishers. They invented the bodice ripper, and also created a stable of authors which included Kathleen Woodiwiss, Rosemary Rogers and many more. The covers were more attractive and the heroines began to have more sexual experience than just sleeping with the hero.

Avon also published a lot of fantasy and science fiction. It was published in digest format - around the size and format of a modern short stories magazine - which made them very popular. Some of these are highly prized by collectors.

The company produced a number of reprints from classics and also original works by contemporary authors, as well as works written by the more famous writers of the past. They also published a lot of children's literature, though that has dwindled recently. These were usually spooky tales or fairytales that carried a moral message. However, some were just for entertainment.
