Random House, Inc. is the U.S. division of Random House, the world's largest trade-book publisher, and is owned by Bertelsmann AG, one of the world's foremost media companies. Random House, Inc. assumed its current ownership with its acquisition by Bertelsmann in 1998, which brought together the imprints of the former Random House, Inc. with those of the former Bantam Doubleday Dell. Random House, Inc.'s adult publishing groups are the Crown Publishing Group, the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, and the Random House Publishing Group. The Random House Children's Books division is the world's largest publisher of books for young readers. Together, these groups and their imprints publish fiction and nonfiction, both original and reprints, by some of the foremost and most popular writers of our time. They appear in a full range of formats—including hardcover, trade paperback, mass market paperback, audio, electronic, and digital, for the widest possible readership from adults to young adults and children. The reach of Random House is global, with Random House publishing companies in nineteen countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Germany, India, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, Uruguay, U.S., and Venezuela. Through Random House International, the books published by the imprints of Random House, Inc. are sold in virtually every country in the world. Random House has long been committed to publishing the best literature by writers both in the United States and abroad. In addition to their commercial success, books published by Random House, Inc. have won an unrivalled number of Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes. The signature Random House imprint was founded in 1925, when Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer purchased The Modern Library, reprints of classic works of literature, from publisher Horace Liveright. Two years later, in 1927, they decided to broaden their publishing activities, and the Random House colophon made its debut. Random House first made international news by successfully defending in court the U.S. publication of James Joyce's masterpiece, Ulysses, setting a major legal precedent for freedom of speech. Beginning in the 1930s, the company moved into publishing for children, and over the years has become a leader in the field. Random House entered reference publishing in 1947 with the highly successful American College Dictionary, which was followed in 1966 by the equally successful unabridged Random House Dictionary of the English Language. It continues to publish numerous reference works, including the Random House Webster's College Dictionary. In 1960, Random House acquired the distinguished American publishing house of Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., and, a year later, Pantheon Books, which had been established in New York by European editors to publish works from abroad. Both were assured complete editorial independence—a policy which continues in all parts of the company to this day. Random House, Inc. was itself acquired in 1965 by the major media corporation, RCA. The publisher's expansion continued with the acquisition in 1973 of Ballantine Books, whose mass market paperback publishing program enabled Random House to reach a much broader and more diverse readership. In 1980, Random House was acquired by Advance Publications, Inc., a privately held company. There followed a period of significant growth, including the acquisition of the paperback publisher Fawcett Books in 1982; the creation of Villard Books, a new hardcover imprint, in 1983; the acquisition of Times Books from The New York Times Company in 1984; and Fodor's Travel Guides, acquired in 1986. In 1988, Random House again grew dramatically with the acquisition of the Crown Publishing Group, whose imprints included Crown; Clarkson Potter, Inc.; Harmony Books; and the Outlet Book Company, a major publisher of low-priced books now known as Random House Value Publishing. Having established Random House of Canada in 1944, Random House significantly expanded its international presence in 1987 to the United Kingdom with the acquisition of the British publishing group, Chatto, Virago, Bodley Head & Jonathan Cape, Ltd. The London operation was further expanded with the acquisition of Century Hutchinson Ltd. in 1989, and the trade division of Reed Books in 1997. Both the Canadian and UK operations grew substantially in 1998 with the acquisition of Random House, Inc. by Bertelsmann AG. Bertelsmann's Doubleday Canada and Bantam Books Canada merged with Random House of Canada, whose imprints also include Random House Canada, Knopf Canada, Vintage Canada, and Ballantine Canada. Transworld UK, Bertelsmann's UK operation, joined Random House UK, with subsidiaries in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Verlagsgruppe Random House, based in Munich, is Germany's trade-book-publishing market leader. Random House Mondadori, a joint venture with Italy's Mondadori Publishers, is the second-largest Spanish-language trade-book publisher, with highly respected imprints in Spain and Latin America.

In addition to the Henry Holt imprint, the company publishes books under a number of other imprints. Metropolitan Books established in 1995 publishes fiction and non-fiction. Times Books launched in 2001, is the result of an innovative co-publishing agreement between Holt and The New York Times; its list focuses on science, business, and current events. Holt Paperback publishes much of the company’s non-fiction in paperback. Picador USA also publishes much of the company’s fiction in paperback. Throughout its history, Holt has published such important writers as Robert Frost, Norman Mailer and Kurt Vonnegut. Farrar, Straus and Giroux was founded in 1946 by Roger W. Straus. FSG was acquired by Holtzbrinck in November, 1994. The company is known especially for its literary fiction, but also publishes quality titles in a range of adult, children’s, and academic subject areas. FSG has an excellent reputation for publishing award-winning quality literature and is acknowledged to be one of the leading literary houses in the U.S. Distinguished authors include Tom Wolfe, Scott Turow, Susan Sontag, Michael Cunningham, Alice McDermott, and Jonathan Franzen. FSG authors have won numerous National Book Awards, Pulitzer Prizes and 21 Nobel Prizes in Literature.

In 1999, Picador began publishing trade paperbacks with FSG, and a year later with Holt as well as SMP. Today, Picador is the literary paperback publisher for the Macmillan group in America. In 2001, Audio Renaissance was acquired by Holtzbrinck. Prior to that, St. Martin’s Press was the distributor for Audio Renaissance titles. The company recently changed its name to Macmillan Audio. Macmillan Audio records the best of fiction and nonfiction available from FSG, Henry Holt, Picador, SMP/Tor Books in cassette, CD and digital formats.

Macmillan was founded in 1843 by Daniel and Alexander Macmillan, two brothers from the Scottish Isle of Arran. Daniel was the business brain, while Alexander laid the literary foundations, publishing such great authors as Charles Kingsley, Thomas Hughes, Lewis Carroll, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry James, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling and H. G. Wells. As the company evolved, the Macmillan family's vision continued to inspire the publishing of major writers including W. B. Yeats, Sean O'Casey, John Maynard Keynes, Charles Morgan, Hugh Walpole, Margaret Mitchell, C. P. Snow and Rumer Godden. The brothers' publishing talents were not confined to literature. Their vision led to the creation of enduring copyrights such as Nature (1869), the renowned Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1877) and Palgrave's Dictionary of Political Economy (1899). An ambitious expansion programme was initiated in the late 1960s when Harold Macmillan retired from politics after his term as prime minister and became chairman of the company. Serious academic, educational and literary publishing was followed by significant growth in reference programmes and college textbooks as well as educational and scientific journals. New international opportunities were grasped and publishing operations were set up in Japan, Mexico and the emerging markets of Africa and Asia. Nowadays Macmillan is one of the largest and best-known international publishers in the world, operating in over 70 countries.

Today, Andrews McMeel Universal is the largest independent newspaper syndicate in the world and an emerging leader in book and calendar publishing and gift and stationery merchandising. In 1997, the privately-held company became Andrews McMeel Universal to reflect its diversification into magazine publishing and new media. Every year, the company publishes the work of more than 125 syndicate creators and writers, more than 300 books, and a prestigious line of calendars and gift and stationery items. Andrews McMeel Universal continues to exert a lasting influence on American popular culture. "We're a talent agency," says John McMeel, chairman of Andrews McMeel Universal and co-founder of Universal Press Syndicate. "A special kind of talent agency, because the creators and authors we represent and promote are special kinds of people. The relationships between our company and our creators and authors— and our relationships with the editors, writers and artists on our own staff—are the foundation upon which this company was built and has succeeded. Without them we'd have no company, no reason to exist." Inspired by one of Erma Bombeck's columns, Kathleen Andrews, vice chairman of Andrews McMeel Universal, says, "Creative people are like kites. They fly high above the rest of us, inspiring us and filling us with awe. But there has to be somebody down here, on the ground, holding the string, pulling it tight, letting it out, or the kite couldn't fly. If you let go of the string, the kite will crash. But if you don't give the kite enough string, it'll never fly as high as it can. That's what our company does. We hold the string—not too tight, not too loose. The kite is the creator. And the flight of the kite is the creativity."

Philomel Books Philomel Books was created in the early 1980s from World Publishing Books for Young People, by Editor and Publisher Ann Beneduce. The World list lived up to its name, drawing in titles from around the globe—such as Mitsumasa Anno's Journey series and Satomi Ichikawa's Nora books. Ms. Beneduce was a pioneer as far as books that would sell to both trade and institutional markets, so for the new list she chose the name Philomel, a term for an English nightingale that means literally "love of learning." The name implied that these books would be distinguished, beautiful in concept and form, fine enough to be sought as gifts, and original and handsome enough to be bought by libraries and schools. The early lists included such future classics as Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which has sold millions of copies worldwide and was even honored with its own U.S. postage stamp; Virginia Hamilton's Newbery Honor-winning Sweet Whispers, Brother Rush; Tasha Tudor's nineteenth century-based tales; and Ed Young's Caldecott Honor-winning The Emperor and the Kite. Patricia Lee Gauch, an author and teacher, came to Philomel in 1985. Sharing Ms. Beneduce's vision, she built on the ideas that had already begun to flower at Philomel, and added to the distinguished list Caldecott-winners Owl Moon by Jane Yolen and John Schoenherr, Lon Po Po by Ed Young, and So You Want to Be President? by Judith St. George and David Small, as well as the Caldecott Honor-winning Seven Blind Mice, also by Ed Young. Philomel became the primary publisher of popular author/artist Patricia Polacco, who created Pink and Say, Chicken Sunday, and many other biographical folktales. Philomel was honored with New York Times Best-Illustrated Awards for Cats Are Cats by Ed Young, Fox's Dream by Tejima, and Gulliver's Adventures in Lilliput by Gennady Spirin. Headed these days by President and Publisher Michael Green, who joined the imprint directly from graduate school in 1991 and never left, eventually taking helm of the list in 2003, Philomel has continued its tradition of quality picture books for the youngest of readers while simultaneously growing as one of the industry's leaders in commercial fiction for middle-grade and young-adult readers. Philomel takes pride in its ability to reach the reluctant reader, especially the boy reader. Among its success stories are Anthony Horowitz's Alex Rider novels, #1 bestsellers the world over and catalyst for a whole new generation of spy fiction lovers; Mike Lupica's sports-centered novels, such as Million-Dollar Throw,, that capture the purity of the 14-year-old sports fanatic in everyone, young or old; and John Flanagan's Ranger's Apprentice epic, the worldwide bestselling fantasy/adventure series that brings readers into the hearts and minds of those who defend a kingdom through courage, skill, and cunning. The Philomel list includes many timeless fantasies. In the late 1980s it became a leader in the field with Brian Jacques's Redwall Tales, a series now more than twenty books deep—including an illustrated cookbook and a graphic novel. T.A. Barron's popular fantasy epic The Lost Years of Merlin sowed the seeds for two companion trilogies, The Great Tree of Avalon and Merlin's Dragon. New to our fantasy list is Andrea Cremer's paranormal reinvention of werewolf mythology, Nightshade, the first in a richly textured, wildly romantic, and action-packed series. Other worlds, of one form or another, have always been of interest to Philomel. Hence its publishing of historical fiction, such as Jane Yolen and Robert Harris' The Queen's Own Fool, a story featuring Mary, Queen of Scots and her court jester; Janet Taylor Lisle's prohibition-era mystery Black Duck; and Nancy Springer's much-lauded, Edgar Award nominated Enola Holmes Mysteries set in Victorian England. Talented newcomer Ruta Sepetys sheds light on a dark period of history through one girl's eyes in Between Shades of Gray, set against the harsh Siberian backdrop during Stalin's little-known extermination and imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of innocent Lithuanians during World War II. Of course, Philomel still looks toward the picture book as the primary vehicle to bring reading to children and to make the experience a shared one with parents. Recent additions to the Philomel canon include Loren Long's re-illustrated edition of the classic Little Engine that Could along with his new classic, Otis, the first in a series. Few books celebrate the love between parent and child the way Maryann Cusimano Love and Satomi Ichikawa's You Are My I Love You; Pulitzer-Prize winner Berkeley Breathed's Mars Needs Moms!, or Barbara Joosse and Jan Jutte's Roawr! do. Friendship, in all its many guises, is celebrated in Oliver Jeffers' Lost and Found, Sandy Asher and Keith Graves' Too Many Frogs, and Patricia Polacco's January's Sparrow. Philomel strives to foster a love of reading in children and young adults. It is a love of story, of language that captivates, of art that makes both a parent's and child's eyes open wide with delight, of books that beckon to be read over and over and yet lose none of their magic, that drives the people of Philomel to make quality books. Publishing books and ideas that celebrate a child's potential—indeed, human potential—in worlds past and present is Philomel's goal.

Puffin is well over sixty years old. Sounds ancient, doesn't it? But Puffin has never been so lively. Always on the lookout for the next big idea, which is how it began all those years ago. Penguin Books was a big idea from the mind of a man called Allen Lane, who in 1935 invented the quality paperback and changed the world. And from great Penguins great Puffins grew, changing the face of children's books forever. Puffin was hatched in 1939 when Noel Carrington met Allen Lane for lunch and put to him an idea for a series of children's non-fiction picture books. In just two minutes Allen Lane said Yes and so the Puffin list was born. The first picture books, published in 1940, were a great success and proved to Allen Lane that, with the right titles, the company had a fantastic future in children's publishing. In 1941 the first Puffin storybook appeared, featuring a man with broomstick arms, called Worzel Gummidge. At first it was hard for Puffin to find its (webbed) feet, with paper rationing during the war years and libraries who still wanted children's books in hardback. But the first Puffin Editor, Eleanor Graham, made it her mission to find books for children to love and created her own original Puffin list of around twelve titles per year. Amongst these titles were Noel Streatfeild's Ballet Shoes and the comic adventures of the mad-haired and bespectacled brainbox Professor Branestawm by Norman Hunter. 1950-1960 was a fantasy-filled decade of children's publishing. Some of the greatest Puffin tales of this era saw children stepping through wardrobes into magical lands (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardbrobe by C. S. Lewis) or upon the thirteenth stroke of the clock travelling back in time (Tom's Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce) or finding that spiders can talk and become best friends with a little piglet (Charlotte's Web by E. B. White). By 1961, when Eleanor Graham retired and Kaye Webb became Editor, Puffin had firmly stuck its (multicoloured) beak into the world of children's books. As Kaye took over there were 151 titles in print and by 1969, after a great big boom in children's publishing, there were 1,213. With more money to spend and better funding in schools and libraries, Puffin was reaping the benefits and some all-time classics were winging their way to the Puffin list, including Mary Poppins, Dr Dolittle and The Hobbit. And then there was the outstanding Stig of the Dump by Clive King, turned down by every other publisher in London! Kaye Webb read the manuscript and couldn't believe her luck - it published as a Puffin original and is now a modern classic. But Kaye didn't stop there. She also began a picture-book list, Picture Puffins, and published joke books and non-fiction titles as well as experimenting with a teenage fiction list. She was adamant that children should have a real relationship with their books. So she found a way to bring those books to life. In 1967 she started the Puffin Club, promising Allen Lane that "It will make children into book readers". She kept her promise. The Puffin Book Club is still going strong today, and is just one of the ways Puffin has established itself in the hearts of millions. The 1970s saw even more success for Picture Puffins, with The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and Each Peach Pear Plum by Janet and Allan Ahlberg becoming instant hits (and both are still firm favourites today). And as for fiction - with the arrival of such hits as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, Watership Down by Richard Adams and Jill Murphy's much-loved The Worst Witch, Puffin was flapping its wings in delight. The 1980s is famous for its funny fashions and for Puffin it was a time to take to the water and surf the wave of popular culture. Every child had a Rubik's Cube and soon a million of them could finally complete the puzzle thanks to schoolboy Patrick Bossert's You Can Do the Cube. Puffin was also at the forefront of film tie-in publishing and formed close links with Disney and other major studios. Even though competition in the paperback market was growing, Puffin continued to innovate and excite readers with the timeless Spot and Meg and Mog series, and a Fighting Fantasy range which brought a whole new meaning to adventure game books. At the same time, Puffin was using its short wings to spread far and wide, with offices opening up across the globe, from America to Australia (and lots of places in between). The 1990s saw a host of brilliant writers joining the good ship Puffin, including Melvin Burgess, Eoin Colfer, Morris Gleitzman and Beverley Naidoo. And the most famous brand in children's publishing waddles proudly into the twenty-first century with the best books and ideas around. We have heroes - Artemis Fowl, Young Bond, Max Gordon and Percy Jackson, and heroines - Mildred Hubble, Scarlett, Lola and Angelina. We've starred at Fruitstock, gone on the road with Cathy Cassidy's Friendship Festival, performed in the West End with Eoin Colfer and launched a nationwide competition to name the explosive third book in the Young Bond series. Kylie and Madonna have put down their microphones and picked up pens for us and Ahmet Zappa, son of rock legend Frank, gave us some truly disgusting monsters to contend with. There was laughter all the way with the hilarious Jeremy Strong's 100-Mile-An-Hour Roadshow, bucketfuls of fun with Harry and his dinosaurs and, don't forget, 13 September is a national day of wearing yellow, eating chocolate and talking gobblefunk to celebrate the marvellous Mr Roald Dahl. The possibilities are endless, but one thing is for sure: whether it's a picture book or a paperback, a sticker book or a hardback, if it's got that little Puffin on it - it's always bound to be good.
