New York Review Books (NYRB) is the publishing division of The New York Review of Books. Its imprints are New York Review Books Classics, New York Review Books Collections, The New York Review Children's Collection, New York Review Comics, New York Review Books Poets, and NYRB Lit.

The division was started in the fall of 1999.[1][2] It grew out of another enterprise called the Reader's Catalog (subtitle: "The 40,000 best books in print"), which sold books through a catalog.[1] Founder Edwin Frank and his managing editor discovered that many of the books they wanted were out of print, so they decided to republish titles in fiction and non-fiction.[1]
