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:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
