History
Zohn served 48 missions on a bomber crew during World War II, and when he returned home he entered the publishing world. He became vice-President of The New York Times, and later created his own publishing house, Arno Press, in 1963.[1] From the beginning, Zohn’s business strategy was to reprint hardcover volumes of historical works and sell large orders to the then-growing number of libraries around the country.[2] In 1968, The New York Times purchased a controlling 51% of Arno Press, and in 1971 they purchased the rest.[3][4]
