FANTASY PRESS

FANTASY PRESS
   An early US SMALL PRESS specializing in sf/fantasy, historically important in the growth of genre-sf PUBLISHING before sf was discovered by mass-market book houses. It was founded by Lloyd Arthur ESHBACH in 1946, based in Reading, Pennsylvania. It published a number of works in hardcover by such authors as John W. CAMPBELL Jr, L. Sprague DE CAMP, E.E. "Doc" SMITH, Stanley G. WEINBAUM and Jack WILLIAMSON. It folded in 1958 at a time when small-press publishing was in crisis. Eshbach sold the company and its stock to Donald M. Grant Publisher.
