Yankee Publishing, Inc. is a Dublin, New Hampshire-based publisher of books, magazines, calendars, and other periodicals.

History

Yankee Publishing, Inc. (YPI) was founded by Robb Sagendorph with his wife, Beatrix, in 1935 with the publication of the first issue of Yankee Magazine.[1][2]

Four years later, in 1939, Sagendorph purchased the Old Farmer's Almanac, the country's oldest continuously published periodical. Now 200+ years old, the publication is more widely read than at any time in its history.[3][4]

YPI is still a privately-held family business run out of the same barn-red building where it was founded.[5]

In 2013 YPI expanded their offerings by acquiring McLean Communications, which includes New Hampshire magazine and New Hampshire Business Review.[6]

The company has shifted some of its focus into offering custom publishing services.[7][8]
