Reclam

Reclam Verlag is a German publishing house, established in Leipzig in 1828 by Anton Philipp Reclam . It is particularly well known for the "little yellow books" of its Universal-Bibliothek , simple paperback editions of literary classics for schools and universities.

In 1802 Charles Henri Reclam , whose family originated from Savoy, had moved to Leipzig where he established a bookselling business. His son Anton Philipp completed his apprenticeship as a book printer and bookseller and borrowed money to purchase the Literarisches Museum, a lending library in Leipzig's inner city. During the Restoration period and under the terms of the Carlsbad Decrees, it quickly evolved to a centre of intellectual and literary circles of the pre-revolutionary Vormärz era.
