Perseus Books Group
Perseus Books Group was an American publishing company founded in 1996 by investor Frank Pearl.[1] Perseus acquired the trade publishing division of Addison-Wesley (including the Merloyd Lawrence imprint) in 1997.[1] In January 2007, the Perseus Books Group purchased Avalon Publishing Group, the parent company of Carroll & Graf and Thunder's Mouth Press;[6] the purchaser folded both imprints and stopped publishing books under those names in May 2007.[7] In 2014, following the bankruptcy auction of Good Books assets, Skyhorse Publishing sold the Mayo Clinic line to Perseus.[8] After the death of Frank Pearl, Perseus was sold to Centre Lane Partners in 2015, a private equity firm.
