Simon & Schuster, Inc., American publishing house. It was founded in 1924 by Richard L. Simon and M. Lincoln Schuster, whose initial project, the original crossword-puzzle book, was a best seller. Among their other innovations was Pocket Books, the first American paperback line, which was launched in 1939. The company came to publish a wide variety of books, including many best sellers and prizewinners. In 1975 it was sold to Gulf + Western Inc., which, renamed Paramount Communications in 1989, was acquired by Viacom Inc. in 1994. Simon & Schuster became a division of the CBS Corporation in 2005. With the 1998 sale of its educational, professional, international, and reference divisions, Simon & Schuster concentrated on fiction and nonfiction for the general reader.
