October 20, 2010

Hard Case Crime is moving their distribution from Dorchester to the UK’s Titan Books, and Titan “plans to acquire all existing stock from Dorchester Publishing and to resume shipping these titles to booksellers immediately.” In the US, Titan itself is distributed by Random House Publisher Services.

Hard Case says that they will relaunch with new titles in fall 2011. They write in the announcement that they “had offers from five publishers and chose Titan over several that were much larger and better-known) — they love pulp fiction as much as we do and appreciate that in books like ours the visual dimension is just as important as the storytelling.”
