History
Harris Publications was founded in 1977 by Stanley R. Harris, who had been in the magazine publishing business since the late 1950s, most prominently with the latter-day pulp publisher Myron Fass. (Harris's father William invented the Harris Press, a printing press still in use today, and had funded Fass's first publishing efforts in the 1940s.) Harris was co-owner of Myron Fass Enterprises from 1964–1978, leaving after multiple disputes with his mercurial business partner.
One of Harris Publications' first successful and long-running titles was Guitar World, which it published beginning in 1980, before selling the property to Future US in 2003.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“The principle office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–117)
