Ballantine Books is a major American book publisher that is a subsidiary of German media conglomerate Bertelsmann. Ballantine was founded in 1952 by Ian Ballantine with his wife, Betty Ballantine.[1] Ballantine was acquired by Random House in 1973,[2] which in turn was acquired by Bertelsmann in 1998 and remains part of that company.
Ballantine's original logo was a pair of mirrored letter Bs back to back, later changing to two Bs stacked to form an elaborate gate.[3] The firm's early editors were Stanley Kauffmann and Bernard Shir-Cliff.[4]
