For the one in six UK adults who struggles with reading, and for those learning English as a foreign language, Quick Reads provides an invaluable service. Before it was set up in 2006, unconfident readers were forced to make do with patronising pamphlets, abridged classics or children's books. Quick Reads, on the other hand, publishes books by authors you'd actually want to read: Kathy Lette, Lynda La Plante, Minette Walters. Oh and Jeffrey Archer too.
