Miramax Books was a publishing imprint started by Bob and Harvey Weinstein of Miramax Films and was known for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. It published the memoirs of many major celebrities, including David Boies, Madeline Albright, Rudolph Giuliani, Tim Russert, and others. Like Miramax Films, it was owned by the Walt Disney Company.
When the Weinsteins broke from Disney in 2005, five years before Miramax Films went for sale by Disney, the book division was folded into Disney's publishing arm, Hyperion, and the Weinstein Brothers brought its CEO, Rob Weisbach, over to their new company, WeinsteinCo, where books are published under the Weinstein Books imprint.
Famous quotes containing the word books:
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
