Company Profile

ReganBooks

ReganBooks was an American bestselling imprint or division of HarperCollins book publishing house, 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 division reportedly earned $120 million a year. ReganBooks focused on celebrity authors and controversial topics, sometimes from recent tabloids.

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. 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. 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. == Controversy and closure ==
Controversy and closure
In November 2006, ReganBooks announced plans to publish O. J. Simpson's book If I Did It; publication was later cancelled by News Corporation chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch. The staff at ReganBooks were reassigned within the HarperCollins General Book Group. The New York Times reported that ReganBooks' offices were closed and "a stunned Ms. Regan was confronted by security guards who arrived with boxes and ordered her to leave." ==Books published==
