The Birth of Silver Age Books! (January 1998)

The name Silver Age Books is used for the first time, as Professor Challenger in Space is published in an innovative "folderback" edition, i.e. A5 pages holepunched and put in a folder, with a WH Smith label-maker being used to put the title on the spine.

Thus founded by Stephen William Theaker back in 1998, Silver Age Books have now grown to become one of the most exciting indie publishers in the UK. In a sense, Silver Age Books have always existed, in your heart, in my heart, even, way back when, in the heart of the first fish to crawl out of sea in the hope of finding a better place. With Silver Age Books now in the full throes of publishing some of the best fiction to be found in the entire universe, that first fish is probably wishing he'd held his breath a little longer!
