This was followed by a collaboration with Horace Liveright to launch the Modern Library in 1917. After facing professional differences with Liveright, the Boni brothers opened their own publishing house which allowed each man to pursue his own projects. Charles Boni created Boni Paper Books, a monthly paperback subscription service that yielded 16 total pieces before he quit in 1931 due to limited interest during the Great Depression era.
