About St. Martin's Griffin
St. Martin's Griffin is the trade paperback imprint of St. Martin's Press in New York, part of Macmillan Publishers and the Holtzbrinck group.
Its parent was set up in 1952 by the British firm Macmillan, after it sold its stake in the American Macmillan company, and took its name from St Martin's Lane in London. Holtzbrinck bought Macmillan in 1995, and St. Martin's is based at the Equitable Building, 120 Broadway, Manhattan.
Griffin issues mainstream paperbacks across fiction and non-fiction, including romance and science fiction, so collectors should check whether a Griffin copy is the first appearance of a title. A notable Griffin first edition is Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue (May 2019). The wider St. Martin's group publishes authors such as Nora Roberts and Louise Penny, and its imprints include Minotaur for crime and thrillers and Wednesday Books for young adult fiction.
