In 1939, a 28-year-old Dutch immigrant opened a used book store in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Herman Baker filled his store with 500 books he had collected over the years, displaying them on homemade shelves. Seventy-five years later, his company has grown into one of the most influential Christian publishers in the world.

This booklet provides a short history of Baker Book House Company and a delightful glimpse inside the Christian book business. It is a helpful look back and a hopeful look forward for a company whose best days are still ahead. Includes more than fifty photos.
