The 'Left Book Club' was a left-wing society active in the UK between 1936 and 1948, founded and supported by the publisher Victor Gollancz, along with the socialist campaigner John Strachey and the Labour academic Harold Laski.It published a series of around 250 books over these twelve years, mostly on a subscription basis - members undertook to pay 2/6 for each month's book. Membership began at 5,000, peaking at 57,000 in the summer of 1939, and declining during the war years.The books themselves had a general socialist or anti-fascist theme, though some were more general works. All were published in distinctive red cases or limp orange covers; the paper quality generally matched the low price, especially in wartime editions.Many of the books were published in 'normal' editions by Gollancz, and some - Orwell's "The Road to Wigan Pier" or Snow's "Red Star over China" later became prominent works in their own right.[Note: The LBC is a historically important publisher series, in which many of the titles were original to the series and published with the active involvement of the authors. In this respect, it is unlike most LibraryThing series, which are author-defined. Publisher series that meet LT's criteria -- for original publication -- are relatively rare.]See also:Wikipedia entryList of titles, The University of SheffieldList of uncatalogued titles
