Blue Ribbon Books

Blue Ribbon Books was an American publishing house established in Garden City, New York, in 1930 "by a consortium of publishers (Dodd & Mead, Harcourt & Brace, Harper, and Little, Brown) as a reprint publisher to compete with Grosset & Dunlap".

Alfred Harcourt and Eugene Reynal were connected with its management. In 1933, Reynal assumed complete control of the company. In 1937, Blue Ribbon acquired the list of the A. L. Burt publishing house and it continued publishing some of A. L. Burt's titles, terming them "A Burt Book." In 1939, Blue Ribbon Books sold its assets and reproduction rights to Doubleday, Doran & Company.
