The Dial Press was a publishing house founded in 1923 by Lincoln MacVeagh. Dial Press shared a building with ''The Dial'' and Scofield Thayer worked with both. The first imprint was issued in 1924.〔Yale University Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library--Dial Press Records (Hdl.handle.net )〕 Authors included Elizabeth Bowen, W. R. Burnett and Glenway Wescott, Frank Yerby, James Baldwin, Roy Campbell, Susan Berman, Herbert Gold, Thomas Berger, Vance Bourjaily, and Norman Mailer. In 1963, Dell Publishing Company acquired 60% of the Dial Press stock but the Press remained an independent subsidiary. It was jointly owned by Richard Baron and Dell Publishing; E. L. Doctorow was editor-in-chief. In 1969 the Dial Press became wholly owned by Dell Publishing Company. In 1976 Doubleday bought Dell Publishing and the children's division of Dial Press (Dial Books for Young Readers) was sold to E. P. Dutton. Dutton would be bought by New American Library, which in turn became a part of the Penguin Group, a division of Pearson PLC. Doubleday dissolved Dial Press in 1985. The adult imprint was revived by Carole Baron the publisher of Dell at the time part of Bantan/Doubleday/Dell under the leadership of Susan Kamil. It went on to gain awards and bestellers. It was bought when BDD was sold to Random House. Penguin and Random House merged in 2013, forming Penguin Random House, with the main division part of Random House and the Young Readers division part of Penguin. ==Books published by Dial Press== *''An American Dream'', Norman Mailer *''Easy Street'', Susan Berman *''The Ecstasy Business'', Richard Condon *''The Good Thief'', Hannah Tinti *''I've Got Your Number'', Sophie Kinsella *''Mile High'', Richard Condon *''The Report from Iron Mountain'' *''The Fire Next Time'', James Baldwin *''Stardance'', Spider Robinson and Jeanne Robinson *''The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí'', Salvador Dalí *''Die Nigger Die!'', H.
