how do you handle publisher imprints?

ownedbycats · 04-13-2021, 01:26 AM

A lot of publishers have multiple imprints. Do you keep them separate in your library, or merge them together?

I put the Imprint (mostly as it appears on the copyright page) into the Publisher column, but it can get tricky

I do not include the Parent if it is 'A division, An Imprint... ' if it is further down.

Double barreled, usually included (and they usually have a similar mark on the jacket)
Baen SF
Harper Torch
Berkley Prime Crime

Others, No (usually theese once existed on their own and had been bout up by one of the biggies.

Oh! And if the Publisher is listed as the Author, I change it to 'Author Published' (as always, there are exceptions. Usually when the Author also publishes others books. )

And then they combine over time. A House full of Random Penguins.
Collins and Harper used to be separate.
The same title can be re-released: Bodley Head -> Penguin /Puffin/Peacock/Pelican.
