Espasa-Calpe was a Spanish publisher which existed during the 20th century. It was created in 1925,[1] by the union of Editorial Calpe, founded by Nicolás María de Urgoiti in 1918,[2] and Editorial Espasa, founded by José and Pau Espasa i Anguera in 1860.[3]
The publisher, named Espasa-Calpe, was owned by Papelera Española.[4][5] It became one of the most important publishers in Spain.[6] The publisher later founded the Enciclopedia Espasa.[1]
Espasa-Calpe opened Casa del Libro in Gran Vía, Madrid,[7] which continued with the direction of Enciclopedia Espasa.[8] In addition, it established a headquarters in Buenos Aires, where it was extended into Chile, Uruguay, Perú, Mexico and Cuba.[8]
In 1991, Espasa-Calpe was acquired by Grupo Planeta, which paid 15.000 million Spanish pesetas.[9][10]
