Pocket Books was established in 1939 and is a division of Simon & Schuster. American entrepeneur Richard de Graff brought the publisher to the United States. Soon, the distinctive kangaroo logo (the kangaroo is named Gertrude, after de Graff's mother) was a common sight in bookstores and other outlets.
Aspiring writers should note that Pocket only accepts agented manuscripts.
