PENGUIN REFERENCE BOOKS




THIS PAGE 'R' R1 - R48






Alhtough the non-fiction series of Pelicans contained many seminal works, including history and science, the term 'Reference Books' was used to mean books to which you could refer - such as dictionaries and encyclopaedias. Probably the first Reference book produced by Penguin was S48 The Penguin Political Dictionary intended as 'An ABC of International Affairs' it was compiled by Walter Theimer in December 1939 and Published as A Penguin Special in January 1940. This was followed in April 1943 by another Penguin Special, S111, A Dictionary of Science by E. B. Uvarov.

A Dictionary of Science became the first of the REFERENCE BOOKS series when it was published in 1944 under a new series as R1. Penguin Reference Books became highly respected at a time when dictionaries and encyclopaedias, published in hard covers, were very expensive. No further titles were issued until after the war when, in September 1949, R2 appeared as A Dictionary of Geography by W. G. Moore. Although the first book R1 was 'Rust' coloured, the series was produced in what became the well known bright red covers of the Reference Books series.
