Villard, also known as Villard Books, is a publishing imprint of Random House,[1] one of the largest publishing companies in the world,[citation needed] owned in full by Bertelsmann since its acquisition of a final 25% stake in 2019, and grouped in Penguin Random House since 2013.[2] Villard was founded in 1983.[3]

Villard began as an independent imprint of Random House and is currently a sub-imprint of Ballantine Books, itself an imprint of Random House.[citation needed] It was named after a Stanford White brownstone mansion on Madison Avenue that was the home of Random House for twenty years.[3]
