Hi janerhodes,

Harper Collins, formerly William Collins & Sons bought Granada
Publishing who had previously bought out Paladin Books.

HarperCollins_Publishers_ (formerly William Collins & Sons, before
that truly fine merkin citizen, Rupert Murdoch, then xxxxian, added
them to his swagbag): included are the imprints HarperCollins,
Voyager, etc; Collins, whose p/b imprint was Fontana, had by then
bought Granada Publishing, who had themselves absorbed Mayflower,
Rupert Hart-Davis, McGibbon & Kee, Arco, Paladin, and others..."
