Henry Holt is one of the oldest publishers in the United States. The company was founded in 1866 by Henry Holt and Frederick Leypoldt, who had emigrated to the United States from his home in Stuttgart eleven years earlier. Holt has always been known for publishing high quality books, including works by such internationally renowned authors as Erich Fromm, Robert Frost, Hermann Hesse, Norman Mailer, Robert Louis Stevenson, Ivan Turgenev and H.G. Wells. Today the publication program focuses on American and international fiction; biography, history and politics; science, psychology and health; and books for children.

In addition to the Henry Holt imprint, the company publishes books under five other imprints. Metropolitan Books, established in 1995, publishes fiction and non-fiction, concentrating particularly on provocative and original American and international authors. Times Books, launched in 2001, is the result of an innovative co-publishing agreement between Holt and The New York Times; its list focuses on science, business and current events. Owl Books publishes much of the company's non-fiction in paperback; Picador USA publishes much of the company's fiction in paperback. Finally, Books for Young Readers publishes a wide range of children's books, from picture books for pre-schoolers to fiction for young adults.
