CliffsNotes began in 1958 as $1 reprints of Canadian study guides for 16 plays by Shakespeare. At that time, Hillegass worked for a major distributor of college textbooks. He knew hundreds of campus bookstore managers across the country. Those close relationships gave him the first outlets for the Notes.
If you go to Cliffsnotes.com, they mention "Call it a CliffsNotes, not Cliff Note or Cliffs Note. If you're looking for the original literature study guide series, then you've come to the right place." And the book covers also say "CliffsNotes" on them (though personally I prefer "Cliffs Notes"). --Bartszyszka 14:09, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
