Da Capo Press is an American
History
Founded in 1964 as a publisher of music books, as a division of Plenum Publishers, as of 2009[update] it had additional offices in New York City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Emeryville, California. The year prior, Da Capo Press had net sales of over $2.5 million.[1]
Da Capo Press became a general trade publisher in the mid-1970s. The name "Da Capo" is an Italian musical term that means "from the beginning," often used in sheet music to indicate that a piece should be repeated from the start. In 2009 the company placed the science portion of the book Jetpack Dreams on the web for free.
In April 2016, Da Capo Press was acquired by the Hachette Book Group as part of Hachette's purchase of the Perseus Books Group.[4] After the sale, sister imprint Seal Press became a Da Capo imprint.[5] In 2018, Da Capo became an imprint of Hachette Books and Seal became an imprint of Basic Books.[6]
