PGW was the largest distributor of independent presses in the United States during the 1990s.[3][4]
In 2007, PGW was acquired by Perseus Books Group[5][6] and some of PGW's publishers moved to Perseus's other divisions.[7] Periodic additions to their list of publishers include an additional 5 added in 2012.[8]
Within the book business, they were known for throwing a party at the annual BookExpo convention, with musical performers including Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk and Chaka Khan in 2012.[9]
Perseus' distribution business was acquired by Ingram Content Group in 2016.[10]
