About this series
The Scribner Library was a numbered paperback reprint series launched by Charles Scribner's Sons around 1960, drawing on the publisher's fiction, belles-lettres and classical backlist for the general reader and the college market. Each title carried a "Scribner Library" (SL) catalog number rather than a narrative reading order; the line ran into the hundreds of numbers through the 1970s.
