"Cirker had the idea to produce paperbacks that were more like hardcovers and sell for $1," says Clarence Strowbridge, president of Dover. "This was an astounding price back then. But they were well-manufactured, sewn and printed on high-quality papers."
The idea not only paid off for Cirker but for readers as well. Dover flourished under the leadership of Cirker and his wife, Blanche, who together oversaw the company up until his death at the age of 82 in March 2000. "The company was really an important part of his life. He loved coming to work every day," recalls Strowbridge. "He was really proud of reprinting useful books."
