Floyd Clymer Publications _____________
We are often asked to clarify what happened to the
business known as “Floyd Clymer Publications” after the death of its founder
Floyd Clymer in 1970.
Shortly after Floyd’s death,
the “Floyd Clymer Publications” business name, titles and rights were
purchased by Andleer, Inc., a California corporation, and for a number of years
following that acquisition Andleer, Inc., continued to publish and expand the
line of “Clymer” repair and
service manuals that most “do-it-yourself” mechanics are familiar with.
In 1987, Andleer, Inc., sold
their “Clymer” repair and service manual publishing business to Intertec,
Inc., and in July 2001 Intertec, Inc., became part of Primedia, Inc., of
New York
which continues to produce some of the best respected “do-it-yourself”
manuals under the “Clymer” name.
In 2000, VelocePress.com, now a
division of Veloce Enterprises, Inc., a Texas corporation, purchased the
residual titles and rights for the pre-1970 “Floyd Clymer Publications” with
the exclusion of the “Clymer Indianapolis Yearbook” series and the Andleer,
Inc., “Clymer” repair and service manual rights that were previously sold to
Intertec, Inc.
In 2005, Veloce Enterprises,
Inc., subsequently purchased the titles and rights to the “Clymer Indianapolis
Yearbook” series and associated publications such as the
Speedway
and Driver histories.
Therefore, if there is a
particular “Floyd Clymer Publications” title that you would like to see
reprinted, we encourage you to contact us, as other than the “Clymer” repair
manuals all of the titles and rights for publications that carry the “Floyd
Clymer Publications” logo that are dated prior to 1970 are the property of
Veloce Enterprises, Inc., dba VelocePress.com.
