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.
