Arno Press


Arno Press is a Manhattan-based publishing house founded by Arnold Zohn in 1963, specializing in reprinting rare and long out-of-print materials.

History

Zohn served 48 missions on a bomber crew during World War Two, and when he returned home he entered the publishing world. He became vice-President of The New York Times, and later created his own publishing house, Arno Press, in 1963. From the beginning, Zohn’s business strategy was to reprint hardcover volumes of historical works and sell large orders to the then-growing number of libraries around the country. In 1968, The New York Times purchased a controlling 51% of Arno Press, and in 1971 they purchased the rest.
