This chapter examines Albatross Press's sale of English books in Germany and neutral countries during World War II. Having lost Albatross strongholds in Germany and then France, John Holroyd-Reece reassessed the firm's prospects from his office in London. On July 2, 1940, he wrote to a British literary agency, spreading word that though Albatross had lost access to the bulk of its books, it had not entirely succumbed to the German invasion of France. However, the war made it impossible for Holroyd-Reece to monitor production and sales in Occupied territories. Ironically, losing his toehold on the continent aligned Holroyd-Reece more strongly with other British publishers. This chapter shows that German readers craved for books published by Albatross despite the Nazi regime's attempts to clamp down on Albatross.
