Explores the careers of Francis and John Noble who published over two hundred novels and "established the two leading circulating libraries for modish London and French literature". Despite these achievements the author argues they have been largely overlooked by book historians, partly because of their contemporary reputation as "hawkers of vulgar and fashionable literature."
