| AdminHistory | Pan Books is an imprint which first became active in the 1940s and is now part of the British-based Macmillan Publishers owned by German publishers, Georg von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group. The company was originally an independent United Kingdom-based publisher that was established in 1944. A few years later, it was bought out by a consortium of several different publishing houses, including Macmillan and Hodder & Stoughton, among others. It became wholly owned by Macmillan in 1987. |
