You might (or might not) be surprised to hear that producing inexpensive books for the masses has an Emma Goldman connection. Her great nephew Ian Ballantine grew up to create paperback books that people could afford. Starting with Penguin and then with the eponymous Ballantine books. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_Ballantine His mother, Stella, was Emma's right hand person for much of her life, starting when Stella was a little girl and declared that when she grew up she would help Aunt Emma, which indeed she did! And clearly Emma's ideals passed directly to Ian... I have a good quote from him in the book. (At least so far I have it!)

Oh cool! And Godwin started one of the first children's book publishers. Universal literacy, definitely an anarchist cause.
