Viking Press

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Viking Press was founded on March 1, 1925, in New York City, by Harold K. Guinzburg and George S. Oppenheim. The name of the company as well as its logo, a Viking ship drawn by Rockwell Kent, were actually chosen as symbols of enterprise, adventure, and exploration in publishing.

In 1975, Viking Press merged with Penguin Books.
