Penguin Random House
Vintage Books is an American trade paperback imprint founded in 1954 by Alfred A. Knopf, originally conceived as a vehicle for making serious works of literature, history, and ideas available in affordable paperback editions. When Alfred A. Knopf was acquired by Random House in 1960, Vintage passed into the Random House family of imprints, where it continued to function as the primary trade paperback arm for both Knopf and Random House titles. Under Random House, Vintage became one of the most prominent paperback imprints in American publishing, known for reissuing major works of scholarship, literary fiction, and nonfiction for a general readership. Random House was subsequently acquired by the German media company Bertelsmann in 1998, and in 2013 merged with Penguin to form Penguin Random House, the world's largest trade book publisher. Vintage Books continues to operate today as an imprint of Penguin Random House, based in New York.
