Marco Polillo, President of the Italian Publishers Association, for the “Get Caught Reading” campaign

Mr Marco Polillo, President of the Italian Publishers Association, for the “Get Caught Reading” campaign: “The murders in Praed Street by John Rhode, is one of the books I like the most. It is the first title I published for Bassotti, the best known series of my publishing house, specialised in classic mysteries.
It has symbolised a challenge to me, the pleasure of reading and most of all my love for books. Today, thinking back to this book has a special meaning since the series has now reached 130 titles!”
