“I’m glad that this paperback format and its lower price will welcome an expanded audience for our authors.” “We have lavished the same kind of design and production attention on the Lanterns-French flaps, laser-cut logo, great paper-as we have on our hardcovers,” Levine said. The publisher emphasized the high production values that Lantern Paperbacks exemplify, in keeping with LQ’s standards. The new imprint will release 10 titles annually, initially focusing on middle grade and young adult, but, Levine said, “I’m not at all ruling out including picture books on future paperback lists.” Like LQ’s hardcover titles, Lantern Paperbacks are distributed by Chronicle Books. I hope Lantern Paperbacks will live up to those high ideals.” Vintage, founded 20 years later, also used striking design elements to signal the originality and importance of the works. Salamander was the instantly recognizable, beautifully produced paperback line launched by Emanuel Querido in 1934 in the Netherlands. Discussing the genesis of the new line, Levine explained, “Two of the most influential forerunners of Lantern Paperbacks in my imagination are Salamander Books and Vintage paperbacks.
