Nick Jacobs (d. 2024) was an English publisher who brought German writers closer to British readers at a time when there was little interest in doing so. His first job was in the late 1950s at the Cassell publishing house in London, where he trained to be a copy editor. In the 60s he moved to Penguin as a copy editor specialising in books on history and sociology, as well as anything to do with Germany.
