Hawthorn Books, Inc.

The publishing firm of Hawthorn Books, Inc. was founded by Kenneth S. Giniger in 1952 as a subsidiary of Prentice-Hall. In 1967 the firm was sold to the Clement Stone interests, and in 1977 it was sold on to W. H. Allen. The firm was closed in 1977, but its publishing assets were bought by E. P. Dutton. The imprint Hawthorn/Dutton was then used for a few years. See John Tebbel: 'A history of book publishing in the United States', Volume IV (1981), pp. 318-319, and see the FOB entry for E. P. Dutton, which indicates that the firm is now part of the US Penguin group. See us.penguingroup.com.
