Penguin Putnam Inc.

Penguin Putnam Inc. is named in the book’s publication information as its New York publisher and, in the account of the first U.S. edition, as the parent company of Viking Penguin. Its documented role is chiefly bibliographic: the front matter identifies its address and places it within the book’s publishing chain, while the main text offers no account of the company’s broader activities.

Publishing Role

The book lists Penguin Putnam Inc. at 375 Hudson Street, New York, New York 10014, as a publisher contact. It also states that the book was first published in the United States by Viking Penguin, described as a member of Penguin Putnam Inc., in 2001. The relationship established by the publication record is therefore specific: Viking Penguin issued the first U.S. edition as part of the larger company.

Publication Context

The publication information records that the book appeared first in the United States in 2001 and was published in Penguin Books in 2003. Penguin Putnam Inc. belongs to the earlier U.S. publication context; the listed later edition is associated with Penguin Books. The book provides no further detail about the company’s organization, personnel, or publishing decisions, so its significance here rests on this documented corporate connection and its New York address.
