Universal Library

Paperback reprint series initiated in 1956, using the same series title as a prior Grosset & Dunlap hardcover reprint series (see Universal Library at Series of Series.) A select number of the 26 titles from the earlier hardcover Universal Library series were published in this paperback series, but many others had already previously been published by Grosset & Dunlap as well.

Not much else has been written about this series, as it doesn't appear in Madison's Book Publishing in America (1966) or Tebbel's History of Book Publishing in America.
