This new imprint, to be distributed by Simon and Schuster, will combine the best of the past and
the best of the future to reestablish classic authors and introduce new works of fiction and nonfiction.
ibooks is the first publishing imprint designed to take full advantage of the promotional and
distribution potential of the internet through downloadable free chapters, virtual reading groups
and message boards between authors and readers. It plans to make books available in
traditional trade paperback and hardcover formats simultaneously with electronic text Echoing
the MP3 music and Broadcast. com video revolutions, it will provide free sample chapters to web
centric readers.
Utilizing cutting edge design, the printed ibooks hearken back to the standard of visual
excellence set by Jan Tschichold for Penguin Books.
Over a dozen major authors are represented in the first six months of ibooks, including Arthur C.
Clarke, Raymond Chandler, Irving Wallace, Howard Fast, Roger L. Simon, Isaac Asimov
