Handy Guide to Who Owns Whom

Keeping track of which imprint belongs to which publisher makes one feel a little like Danny Kaye in THE COURT JESTER trying to keep track of whether the pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle, the flagon with the dragon, or the chalice from the palace. But here's my best effort:

Note 1: Corporate parent is in bold, US publishing subsidiary or affiliate in parentheses, imprints below.

Note 2: I have omitted some imprints (e.g., paperback reprint-only imprints or imprints that don't do novels and sometimes unintentionally) and have included some that may be defunct but which may still appear on books.
