Brothers James and John Harper founded J. and J. Harper in 1817. By 1825, their small print shop had become the largest publisher in New York City. In 1987, it was acquired by News Corporation and renamed Harper & Row. In 1990 we acquired William Collins & Sons, which had been established in Glasgow in 1819, and renamed it HarperCollins.
We have offices in London, Horley, Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dublin. In London we are based in the News Building with the UK News Company (including The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sun and Dow Jones). In keeping with our historic links with Glasgow, we also have an office in Bishopbriggs, where our distribution centre sends 1.3 million books around the world every week.
