	Encyclopedia: Pantheon Books
		Pantheon Books was an American publishing company that was acquired by Random House in 1961.
		Works continue to be published under the Pantheon Books imprint with editorial independence.
		The United States of America — also referred to as the United States, the U.S.A., the U.S., America, the States, or (archaically) Columbia—is a federal republic of 50 states located primarily in central North America (with the exception of two states: Alaska and Hawaii).

	village voice > books > André Schiffrin The Business of Books by Kera Bolonik (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In early 1990, the publisher of Pantheon Books, André Schiffrin, together with his entire staff, submitted his resignation to Random House, sending shock waves throughout the publishing industry.
		Pantheon Books was cofounded in 1942 by Schiffrin's father, Jacques, a Russian Jew, and the former publisher of an imprint of the French press Gallimard (the Schiffrins fled from France after Gallimard's purge of Jews, following the French defeat in 1940).
		Pantheon frequently succeeded in balancing commercial success with prestige, especially in the 1960s and 1970s, when the nation was roiling with political fervor.

		Schiffrin is the former director of Pantheon Books, which he ran for nearly 30 years before being forced out by Alberto Vitale, the axman employed by (Random House owner) Si Newhouse.
		Often these books were to become classic literary works, and it seemed the proper place of a publishing house was to stick with them despite initial disinterest or intimidating controversy.
		A Pantheon high school textbook of Mississippi history that "countered the existing overtly racist texts" (including those assigned by the state that "dealt with the origins of the Ku Klux Klan in a positive fashion") and that became the subject of a controversial Supreme Court case.

	André Schiffrin's The Business of Books - Meredith Sue Willis - Ethical Culture Book Review
		Many of Pantheon's authors in the 1950's and 60's were victims of red-baiting; others were at the cutting edge of new ideas in psychology and other fields.
		Schiffrin's story of Pantheon and its projects has great intrinsic interest, but the heart of his book is the comparison between the way the old Pantheon acquired books and the changes that began in earnest in the 1980's.
		Every book is supposed to contribute not only to its own editing, production, and publicity, but also to contribute to the furnishings of corporate headquarters and to the bloated salaries of CEO's.

	ALA \| C&RL, September 2001, Vol. 62, No. 5, Schiffrin book review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Pantheon published the first books on Zen and Buddhism for an American audience, beginning with Zen and the Art of Archery by the German scholar Eugen Herrigel.
		He describes how new books would be selected for publication with popular ones often subsidizing short-runs of the more esoteric, and so long as the firm was in the fl financially, nobody worried if it took twenty years to sell only 1,500 copies of a worthy title.
		One example of Pantheon’s commitment to developing new audiences of readers was its publication of a school textbook in 1974 edited by James W. Loewen and Charles Sallis, Mississippi: Conflict and Change, which was rejected as too controversial by Random House’s textbook division (by this time Pantheon was owned by Random House).

	Book review
		In 1962, 26-year-old Andre Schiffrin was offered an editor’s post at Pantheon Books, the small house founded by his father and noted for publishing serious European literature and politics.
		Pantheon had just been purchased by Random House, whose editor-in-chief, Bennett Cerf, wished to maintain the publisher’s standards even if it meant accepting projects of meager commercial value.
		Bookstore chains mandate that “if a book did not sell a certain number of copies per day during the first week on display, it would be moved to the back of the store and then returned.” Book clubs that employed distinguished critics to choose their monthly selections now function as nothing but mail-order houses.

	Reading Books Only for the Bottom Line
		Not likely--because Schiffrin is already an exile, having departed his job as managing director of Pantheon Books in 1990, after a rancorous dispute over profit goals with executives of the house's parent company, Random House Inc. Today, Schiffrin heads The New Press, a foundation-backed independent publisher.
		Pantheon, he tells us, was built in the 1940s by emigres--Kurt Wolff, formerly a distinguished German publisher, and Andre's father, Jacques, a Russian-born Jew and editor at France's Editions Gallimard who fled to the U.S. during the German occupation.
		Sometimes, though, Schiffrin exaggerates, as with the assertion that in the Presidential election year of 1996, ''virtually no books were published for the general reader which dealt with the big issues facing American citizens.'' In that year, BUSINESS WEEK reviewed volumes on media influence over elections, deforestation, immigration, campaign funding, health care, and more.
