Bibliographic notes for the publisher Futura.
Futura in ISFDB:
- Ballantine/Futura
- Futura
- Futura / Orbit, a division of Macdonald & Co
- Futura Open Market
- Futura Orbit
- Futura Overseas
- Futura Publications
- Futura/Orbit
- Orbit imprint, Futura Publications (UK)
- Orbit/Futura
- Quantum (Futura/Orbit)
Futura was a paperback imprint of MacDonald and Co.
Many Orbit paperbacks will state that they're published by Futura, but I'm currently converting some of my verified pubs from Futura to Orbit as the Orbit imprint looks more useful in identifying original SF as opposed to Novelisations, for instance: e.g. This is a Futura Novelisation but this is an Orbit original novel. There are oddities like this Orbit "Quantum SF" book but I'll get round to "publication series" like those later. BLongley 21:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
