Paper Tiger Books

Paper Tiger is a publishing house started in 1976 by Martyn and Roger Dean, on the back of their success at publishing Dean's Views graphic album under the Dragon's Dream imprint. Initially formed so as to publish The Album Cover Album, Paper Tiger's range expanded to include "not only art which was connected to music, but also the visionary, the fantastic, science fiction and radical design."

The Dean brothers had left the company by 1981, but it continued under the management of Hubert Schaafsma [http://www.unicorngarden.com/ptbks1.htm Nigel Suckling's webpage about the Paper Tiger books he has edited] ] , producing a series of fantasy art books, many of which were edited by Nigel Suckling, who also provided text to accompany the pictures. Artists published include Chris Achilleos, Bruce Pennington, Josh Kirby, Rodney Matthews, Patrick Woodroffe, J K Potter, Bob Eggleton, as well as numerous titles by Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell.

In 1997, Paper Tiger was "rescued" ] by Collins & Brown, and is currently an imprint of Anova Books.
