  • Ballantine Books published the Star Trek material of artist Franz Joseph in 1973, and a series of Star Trek Logs by author Alan Dean Foster. This was not an exclusive license, as comics, technical publications and adaptations were published concurrently by Gold Key Comics and Bantam Books. Ballantine's Trek material has been reprinted sporadically since then, even after the official license was passed on to Pocket Books in 1979. Again, a noteworthy exception was The Making of Star Trek, which was regularly reprinted by them for over three decades, initially under their own imprint and later on under the Del Rey imprint, resulting in more than thirty reprint editions. Ballantine Books, founded in 1952 by Ian and Betty Ballantine, has been a prolific publisher of books in virtually every conceivable genre. Ballantine was the first publisher that adopted the policy of publishing new books titles both in the more expensive hardcover as well as in the less expensive mass market paperback editions simultaneously. Hitherto, the practice was that paperbacks were cheaper reprints of previously released hardcovers. Ballantine's first publication was the 1952 novel Executive Suite by Cameron Hawley. The publisher ended its independent existence in 1973 when it was acquired by Random House, they themselves being acquired by Bertelsmann AG in 1998, remaining a separate entity within that company to this day. Science fiction and fantasy were from the start well represented in Ballantine's line-up, and eventually became such a large portion of that line-up, that it was decided to publish them under their own imprint, Del Rey Books, established in 1977.

  • After publishing The World of Li'l Abner, Ballantine introduced Shel Silverstein in 1956 with his Grab Your Socks! collection of cartoons from Pacific Stars and Stripes. Ballantine also published several collections of Jim Davis' comic strip Garfield. As an editor at Ballantine during the 1950s and 1960s, Bernard Shir-Cliff handled the Zacherley anthologies, the paperback of Hunter Thompson's Hell's Angels, Harvey Kurtzman's The Mad Reader and other early Mad paperbacks. He made four contributions to Mad and other magazines edited by Kurtzman. In 1956, Shir-Cliff edited a humor anthology, The Wild Reader, for Ballantine, including essays, poems and satirical pieces by Robert Benchley, Art Buchwald, Tom Lehrer, John Lardner, Shepherd Mead, Ogden Nash, S. J. Perelman, Frank Sullivan, James Thurber and others. The 154-page paperback was illustrated with cartoons by Kelly Freas who also did the front cover. Another contributor to both Ballantine and the Kurtzman magazines was the cartoonist-author Roger Price. He did two humor books for Ballantine. I'm for Me First (1954) details Herman Clabbercutt's plan to launch a revolutionary political party known as the "I'm for Me First" Party. In One Head and Out the Other (1954) popularized the Catchphrase "I had one grunch, but the eggplant over there." The nonsense non sequitur was immediately adopted by science fiction fandom, appearing occasionally in fanzines, as noted in Fancyclopedia II (1959).
