Dial Press

Dial Press was an American publishing company that was founded in 1923 by Lincoln MacVeagh. The company was known for publishing a wide variety of books, including fiction, nonfiction, poetry and children's books. Dial Press was responsible for publishing some of the most celebrated authors of the 20th century, such as James Baldwin, Truman Capote, and Paul Bowles. It also published several books that have become classics of American literature, including "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald and "The Sun Also Rises" by Ernest Hemingway. Dial Press was bought by Random House in 1966, and it was closed in 1985, but some of its titles are still in print and continue to be published under the Dial Press Imprint.
