Arlington House, Inc. (dba as Arlington House Publishers), now-defunct, was an American book publisher of jazz discographies, as well as conservative and anti-communist titles. It was a Delaware corporation from 1964 to 1988 with offices in New Rochelle and New York City and, in 1981, Westport, Connecticut.

History of corporate structure

In 1968, Computer Applications, Inc. acquired the businesses of Arlington House, Inc., and its affiliated companies, Conservative Book Club, Inc., and Nostalgia Book Club, Inc., all of New Rochelle, for approximately $1.5 million in stock. The acquired firms continued to operate under then current management as part of the direct mail/graphic arts and publishing division of Computer Applications, Inc. (CAI).^[2]
Arlington House was later acquired by Starr Broadcasting, which was sold to Shamrock Broadcasting in 1979. Shamrock sold Arlington House to Crown Publishing in 1981.^[3]
