Vintage Books is a publishing imprint founded in 1954 by Alfred A. Knopf. Its publishing list includes world literature, fiction, and non-fiction. Vintage is one of the biggest British publishing houses of trade paperbacks.
It is a subdivision of Random House publishing, which is in turn owned by Bertelsmann, a German media conglomerate.
In 1990 Vintage was set up in the United Kingdom. This division is independent from the American company although both are part of Random House.
Vintage in the United Kingdom was initially created to publish paperback editions of books acquired by the prestigious hardback imprints of Random House UK such as Jonathan Cape, Chatto & Windus, Hutchinson and later William Heinemann, Secker & Warburg and The Harvill Press. There are many Booker Prize and Nobel Prize-winning authors published by Vintage and the company publishes a variety of fiction and non-fiction.
