History
Publisher Kent Carroll, the editorial director of Grove Press from 1975 to 1981, co-founded Carroll & Graf in 1982 with Herman Graf who was Executive Vice President of Grove Press. Headquartered on West 17th Street in New York City, it offered a range of fiction and non-fiction, including history, biography, current affairs, mysteries (including British imports) and science fiction.[1]
Carroll & Graf was purchased by the Avalon Publishing Group in 1998, and in 2003 Will Balliett became its publisher.[2] Avalon was purchased by the Perseus Books Group in January 2007.[3] Avalon closed down Carroll & Graf immediately.
