HISTORY
In 1933, inspired entrepreneurs Nat Wartels and Bob Simon founded a book company named Outlet Book Company. With the goal of providing quality books at inexpensive prices, Wartels and Simon used innovative techniques to create new markets for the books, bringing Outlet to the forefront of bargain book publishing. Outlet Book Company also introduced the concept of reprinting bestselling books to sell at bargain prices. Now, over 70 years later, many things have changed, but the goal--high quality books at value prices--remains as important as ever. Today we are called Random House Value Publishing and we are a division of Random House Inc., the largest English-language book publisher in the world. We continue to focus on bringing value-priced reprints of popular titles to consumers. Random House Value Publishing has moved triumphantly into the twenty-first century and will continue to be a leader in the bargain book market for decades to come.
