Since its inception twenty years ago this February (02/20/02 to be exact), Melville House has been called “brilliant,” “anti-establishment,” “small but innovative,” and “[an] enticing American boutique.”
Twenty years later, with offices in Brooklyn and London and a staff of 15, Merians and co-founder Dennis Johnson have published over 700 books, including an astonishing list of internationally acclaimed authors.
Celebrate with us throughout the year with a new website, some fun new merchandise, special terms for booksellers, and, Covid permitting, a celebratory party in September. You can check back here or follow us on Twitter (#MH20) for updates.
