In 1952 Hamilton & Co. (Stafford) Ltd. in London began publishing books emblazoned with the line "A Panther Book" or "Panther Science Fiction". Around 1968 Panther Books was acquired by the British publishing firm, Granada Group, and became part of the Granada Publishing Limited. For a time the Panther Books series was published by Panther Books Ltd., which was in fact an imprint of Granada Publishing Limited. During this period publishers of Panther Books included Triad Panther and Panther Grafton, which were also Granada imprints. In 1983 sold Panther Books to another U.K. publishing firm, William Collins. In 1989 William Collins merged with Harper & Row , New York, with the British part of the publishing business (including Panther) being run by HarperCollins.
