Eisenbrauns was founded by Jim and Merna Eisenbraun in 1975 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Jim, a graduate at Ann Arbor, was tired of paying high prices for specialized books. He paid the legal fee to operate a bookstore and gained access to retailers' prices. The store quickly gained traction and moved to a 4,000 square feet building in 1978.[1] It operated for over forty years in Winona Lake, Indiana, and Warsaw, Indiana before its acquisition by Penn State University Press in 2017.[2]
