Avon

Avon

Avon Publications was an American paperback book and comic book publisher founded in 1941 by the American News Company (ANC). Avon was bought by the Hearst Corporation in 1959. In 1999, News Corporation bought out Hearst's book division. Avon's hardcover and non-romance paperback lines were moved to sister company Morrow, leaving Avon as solely a romance publisher. As of 2010, it is an imprint of HarperCollins, publishing primarily romance novels.
