ReganBooks
ReganBooks was an American bestselling imprint or division of HarperCollins book publishing house (parent company is News Corporation), headed by editor and publisher Judith Regan, started in 1994 and ended in late 2006. During its existence, Regan was called, by ''LA Weekly'', "the world's most successful publisher".〔("The Gathering Storm" ) by Brendan Bernhard, ''LA Weekly'', June 2, 2005〕 The division reportedly earned $120 million a year. ReganBooks focused on celebrity authors and controversial topics, sometimes from recent tabloids.〔("Trend-Setting Publisher Plans To Move to and Go Hollywood" ) by Edward Wyatt, ''New York Times'', April 12, 2005〕〔("ReganBooks Moving to Hollywood" ), The Book Standard, April 12, 2005〕
== History and publications ==
Prominent ReganBooks titles include Jenna Jameson’s ''How to Make Love Like a Porn Star'', biographies by General Tommy Franks, professional wrestler Mick Foley, and radio talk show host Howard Stern, three different books on the Scott Peterson case, and those by political commentator Sean Hannity. Though ultimately owned by politically active Rupert Murdoch, ReganBooks disavowed any political agenda, publishing, for example, books both supportive of and critical of George W. Bush.〔("Political but Not Partisan: A Publisher Has It Both Ways" ), by Edward Wyatt, ''New York Times'', October 13, 2004〕
In August 2004, ReganBooks had three books on the ''New York Times'' best-seller list, including the top two non-fiction positions, and the highest profit ratio at HarperCollins.〔("The Devil and Miss Regan" ) by Judith Newman, January 2005, ''Vanity Fair''〕
In 2005, ReganBooks announced plans to move from Manhattan to Los Angeles, making it one of the first major book publishers to move from the east to the west coast.〔〔〔
