Fischer-Taschenbuch-Verlag

FISCHER Taschenbuch traces its origins to the ›Fischer Bücherei‹, whose first six titles in the new paperback format appeared in spring 1952; the Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag later emerged from it. The series was associated with the claim 'Das gute Buch für jedermann' and with Gottfried and Brigitte Bermann Fischer, son-in-law and daughter of Samuel Fischer. Volume one was Thornton Wilder's ›Brücke von San Luis Rey‹. The first Fischer Bücherei volumes were sold at one mark and ninety pfennig and carried the three-fish signet designed by Wolf D. Zimmermann. In 1957 Brigitte Bermann Fischer, together with Otl Aicher of the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, designed a rotating stand for presenting the books.

The paperback era began for the ›Fischer Bücherei‹ (from which the Fischer Taschenbuch Verlag later emerged) in spring 1952, when the first six titles in the new format appeared. The claim 'Das gute Buch für jedermann' expressed the wish of Gottfried and Brigitte Bermann Fischer, son-in-law and daughter of Samuel Fischer. An ambitious book series emerged that, through its presentation and a low price, became accessible to broad readerships. Volume one was Thornton Wilder's ›Brücke von San Luis Rey‹. The first Fischer Bücherei volumes were sold at one mark and ninety pfennig, from the beginning with the memorable three-fish signet designed by Wolf D. Zimmermann. In 1957 Brigitte Bermann Fischer, together with Otl Aicher of the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Ulm, designed a rotating stand for presenting the books.
