He should take a look at Javier Garcia Liendo's dissertation, "Culturas de masas alternativas" (Princenton U). It is not a history of the paperback book in Latin America, but it contains a lot of information about it.

Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to ask for some help / information. Nowadays we can find quite easily books about the paperback history in the United States, England, France and some other European countries. However, I am interested in the development of this market in Latin America. I have material on Brazil and some information about Argentina. I would ask you if you can suggest me some bibliography on other countries or the whole Latin America. Being more specific, I search sources about the ‘libro de bolsillo” in Latin America in the twentieth century.

Best regards,

Willian E. R. de Souza
