The Times Book Club

The Times Book Club is a publisher whose publishing direction still awaits confirmation from more publicly available information; three of its books are currently held in the collection. Judging from the existing titles, its publishing focus is on English poetry and literary works in the original language. Representative titles include George Meredith's Poems — Volume 2 and Poems of George Meredith, Volume 3, while the common categories cover original editions, English-language originals, literature and foreign literature. In terms of author resources, the collection centres mainly on George Meredith, reflecting an attention to the works of classic English poets. Overall, the publisher's characteristic lies in presenting literary and poetic works in English-language original editions, which suits readers interested in reading foreign literature in the original. Because background information such as the year of founding and the country or region is not recorded in the collection and public information is limited, no further introduction to its history or scale can be provided at present.
