The beginning of mass market paper backs In 1501 A.D. Aldus Mantius, an Italian publisher, made many contributions to the development of books. His contributions included the creation of Italics style of writing, the modern use of the semicolon, and the creation of the octavos, which was a small paperback book. Mantius's goal was to preserve Greek literature. He made books more affordable and accessible with his paper back format. Given the small size of the books they could be stowed in a bag or placed in pocket breaking away from the traditionally form of large hard cover books that predated paperback.
