The Schoonover Collection
Lawrence Schoonover’s Classic Bestselling Novels Back in Print Millions of copies sold during New York author’s career After three decades out of print, renowned New York author Lawrence Schoonover’s bestselling works of biographical fiction are now available to the public in new editions. During the 1940s through the 1970s millions of copies of his works were sold worldwide in eight languages, with descriptions so accurate that his books were used as texts in American schools. Even today after more than 30 years after their last publication date, more than 650 libraries in the USA still offer his books to the public, and they are actively traded on internet sites in many countries around the world. Publisher George Scott and Schoonover’s great-nephew was so inspired by these books he was determined to see them back in print. Now he is introducing this author to new generations of readers. “There’s a whole new audience for these wonderful stories. Anyone who likes adventure, romance, and political and religious history will love these books.” “He had a wonderful storytelling sense and could really keep you turning the pages,” according to his MacMillan editor in a 1980 Newsday interview. “He was a marvelous researcher and a good stylist.” Schoonover was born in Iowa, graduated from the University of Wisconsin and moved to New York City to work for a large advertising agency in the 1940s. After his wartime service he spent his free days in the New York Public Library’s Central Manhattan Branch researching what became his first big seller, The Burnished Blade. “That library is a wonderful place,” commented Schoonover. “If the atom bomb came down, there would be the real loss.” Scott plans to release nine historical novels in the next four years by Schoonover, together for the first time in a newly designed collection.
