Collector's Corner:
About the publisher: L.J. Veen, a Dutch publishing house, was established in Amsterdam by Lambertus Jacobus Veen in 1887. Lambertus, born on January 7, 1863, in Sneek, Netherlands, led the company until his death on September 20, 1919. The publishing house is renowned for its contributions to the literary world, including publishing notable works and engaging in innovative publishing practices.
After Lambertus's death, the company continued its operations, maintaining its reputation in the Dutch publishing landscape. The timeline of L.J. Veen's significant events post-Lambertus's era includes several mergers and acquisitions that shaped its modern identity. In 1925, Bosch & Keuning was founded, which later became a key part of the story when Veen Uitgevers Groep, the group representing L.J. Veen, spun off from Wolters Kluwer in 1999. In 2001, a pivotal merger occurred between Veen and Bosch & Keuning, forming Veen Bosch & Keuning (VBK). This merger marked a significant milestone, combining the strengths of both entities. In 2005, Veen Bosch & Keuning merged with Noordelijke Dagblad Combinatie, further expanding its reach and capabilities. However, by 2012, the group decided to split its book publication activities, a move that allowed for more focused operations in different sectors of the publishing world.
