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.
In the early 1980s, books packager Richard Gallen published modern, sensual romances with Pocket Books. These novels, while ostensibly competing with offerings from Silhouette and Harlequin, not to mention imprints such as Candlelight and Second Chance At Love, were longer and more immediately sexual.
