Quick Summary

Pocket magazines are a type of periodical, meaning they are published at regular intervals. This format was popularized by Reader's Digest.12

Several magazines followed this trend, including Your Life and Success Today. Coronet, an offshoot of Esquire Inc., achieved a large circulation during World War II. Other examples include Pageant, London Opinion, Men Only, and Lilliput. Some "superdigests" also emerged, featuring pictures and minimal text, such as Tempo, People Today, and Jet.2
