Simon & Schuster, Inc.

Simon & Schuster, Inc. appears in the book’s back matter as the corporate organization above Gallery Books and as part of the book’s publishing, legal, and promotional infrastructure. The clearest formal statement identifies Gallery Books as a division of Simon & Schuster, Inc.; other notices connect the company with author appearances, reader updates, trademarks, and the address for rights inquiries.

Institutional Position

The book’s closing pages state that Gallery Books is “A Division of Simon & Schuster, Inc.” This is the most direct evidence of the relationship: Gallery Books is the publishing imprint named throughout the volume, while Simon & Schuster, Inc. is identified as the company of which it is a division. The wording establishes an organizational connection without providing further detail about the company’s internal structure, leadership, or the division of work between the two.

The relationship is also visible in the book’s reader-facing material. A mailing-list notice offers updates on releases, deals, bonus content, and other books from both Gallery Books and Simon & Schuster. The paired names place the imprint and company together as sources of information for readers, while preserving their distinct identities in the notice. The book thus presents the corporate connection not only in its formal imprint statement but also in the everyday route through which readers might hear about other publications.

Publishing and Legal Notices

The edition identifies itself as a Gallery Books trade paperback first published in November 2014. Its copyright notice directs inquiries to the Gallery Books Subsidiary Rights Department at 1230 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020. That rights contact situates the edition’s permissions information within Gallery Books’ named department; the notice does not designate Simon & Schuster, Inc. as the department itself. The company’s place in the imprint hierarchy is stated separately in the division notice.

A nearby trademark statement says that GALLERY BOOKS and its colophon are registered trademarks of Simon & Schuster, Inc. This links the imprint’s name and visual mark directly to the company’s trademark notice. Read alongside the division statement, it distinguishes two related forms of identification: Gallery Books names the publishing imprint, while Simon & Schuster, Inc. is named as the holder of the registered marks and as the company above that imprint.

Author and Reader Services

The Simon & Schuster Speakers Bureau is presented as a means of arranging authors’ appearances at live events. The notice supplies a telephone number and website for further information or booking. This is a specific public-facing service associated with Simon & Schuster, Inc. in the book’s back matter; it shows that the volume’s institutional frame extends beyond the printed edition to a channel for connecting authors with live audiences. The notice does not identify a particular appearance or claim that the book’s author used the service.

The mailing-list invitation offers another kind of reader contact, promising updates about new releases, deals, bonus content, and other books. It names both Gallery Books and Simon & Schuster as sources and directs readers to an online sign-up page. Together, the mailing-list notice and Speakers Bureau information place publishing and author engagement side by side: one invites readers to follow forthcoming material, while the other gives event organizers a route to inquire about speakers.

Place in the Book’s Publication Frame

Simon & Schuster, Inc. is not described through an account of its history or operations. Instead, readers encounter it through concise paratextual notices: the division statement, the trademark attribution, the Speakers Bureau listing, the joint mailing-list promotion, and the corporate name in the edition’s publication information. These notices define the company’s documented role in relation to this volume without supplying a broader corporate profile.

That limited but varied presence makes the company legible at several points in the book’s circulation. The division statement clarifies the relationship to Gallery Books; the rights and trademark material addresses permissions and brand identification; and the service and mailing-list notices provide practical contact routes for authors, event organizers, and readers. Simon & Schuster, Inc. therefore functions in the book’s frame as more than a name in the imprint line: it is the explicitly named corporate connection behind the imprint and a visible part of the edition’s legal and public-facing apparatus.
