The "LA" Bantams
Los Angeles - 1940 - 1941
In no way connected to Bantam Books, New
York. A failed experiment to distribute books using vending machines, the LA
Bantams were slightly smaller than other paperbacks, but were very square. Some
of the reprints had pictorial covers, and some later books were laminated, the
first use of lamination on paperbacks. But the process was not well done, and
laminated books in good condition are exceedingly scarce.
