From Wikipedia:
"Time Life" was founded in 1961 as the book marketing division of Time Inc's magazines, Time and Life,  but remained independent from both ... The original publisher, Jerome Hardy, declared early on that the publisher would succeed through a strategy to 'give the customer more than he (sic) has any right to expect.'"
