Please dab. this page when possible -- Simonides 07:00, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)

This page doesn't currently make clear: is this intended as a list only of present-day publishers? (Really should say one way or the other) Is there any interest in tracking the history of mergers? Should that go somewhere else? I just sort of randomly hit this article; it's an area I know a lot about, but I'm not sure I understand where someone is trying to take this. -- Jmabel 06:49, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)

This is an introductory list of major contemporary English language literary/ humanities publishers, though anyone is welcome to go into the history of publishing and add some major names from the past, or broaden into scientific/other publishing, or specify the current parent companies (ex. Harvill is now owned by Random UK) and clarify which years the publishers were independent for, etc etc. Like with any other page, if you know how it can be improved, go ahead and improve it. -- Simonides 07:03, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Free Publishing

What the heck is Free Publishing? Does it belong here? (I suspect not.) Never heard of it; it's a redlink so I can't follow that way and, being a common phrase, almost impossible to search for online. If no one explains in the next few days, I will probably delete. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:30, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

W. H. Allen

Does anybody know the publisher "W. H. Allen"? If so please give information about him/it. 80.139.231.193 16:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
