Former Dutch publishing house from Utrecht (1896-1993) More

Uitgeversmaatschappij W. de Haan NV is a former Dutch publishing house, founded in Utrecht in 1896. The publishing house was dissolved in 1993 (when the company was part of the Unieboek publishing group).

NB:
In the publication Van Goor and the investment in the "good and deviant" picture book (2003) by Margreet van Wijk-Sluyterman it is stated:

"In 1929 - just before the start of the crisis - Van Goor also took over the youth fund from publisher De Haan, [...]"

In practice it is possible to come across books from that period where the binding lists Van Goor as publisher, while the title page still lists De Haan . Apparently not only the rights were taken over, but also the remaining stock of books, or the not yet bound interiors.
