Real world article
(written from a production point of view)

Praeger Publishers was an American publishing company specializing in scholarly, academic, and professional books on art, architecture, international relations, and military history that in 1998 released the Star Trek-related book Deep Space and Sacred Time.

The company was founded in 1950 by Frederick A. Praeger, who in 1966 sold the company to William B. Benton, publisher and chairman of the Encyclopedia Britannica. (Frederick A. Praeger would later found the publisher Westview Press.) [1]

Praeger Publishers was acquired by CBS, Inc. in 1976 who in 1985 sold it to Greenwood Press (later known as Greenwood Publishing Group.) [2] After further merger and acquisition activity that saw Greenwood become part of the publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, in 2008 academic publisher ABC-CLIO arranged a perpetual license to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt reference division titles, including those of Greenwood Publishing. [3] In 2021, UK-based Bloomsbury Publishing acquired ABC-CLIO, organizing it within its academic and professional division. [4] Bloomsbury announced that as of June 2023 new Praeger titles would be published under various other company imprints. [5]
