Description
[edit]Avery was founded as an independent publisher in 1976 by childhood friends Rudy Shur and Lee Solomon.[1][2][3] It was purchased by Penguin in 1999.[4][5] Their offices were located at one time in Garden City, New York, home to other publisher's offices.[1][6]
Penguin merged the Gotham Books and Hudson Street Press imprints into Avery in 2015.[7]
As of 2014, the president was veteran publisher William Shinker.[8]
Etymology
