Pan Books was founded by Alan Bott in 1944. Over the next 8 years, a consortium consisting of Collins, Macmillan, Hodder & Stoughton and Heinemann purchased a 48% share in Pan and in 1962, when New American Library attempted to take over, Collins and Macmillan bought Pan outright. In 1969 Heinemann rejoined by buying a third share. As of 2008, just an imprint of the Pan Macmillan Group.
