ISBN Prefix 0552 from 1968-2005. Although we also have a couple of 'Black Swan' pubs with "055299" prefixes, this is a pretty reliable check (over 200 good pubs verified).

Since about 2005, Corgi has been a Children's paperback imprint of Random House. Bantam are the imprint of choice for reprints of classic Corgi SF paperback titles now, and many new Transworld SF publications - you will however see many Amazon entries listing older Corgi SF titles as "Corgi Children's"! This seems to be because they retain the same ISBN and Amazon can't cope with such British normalities as "same text can keep the same ISBN, however often you change the cover, price, company that owns the imprint, etc."

Do NOT trust Amazon (UK or US) for a definitive Publisher! (Well, maybe after a Look-Inside - but even then check they're showing you the edition you THOUGHT you were looking at!)
