It was acquired in 2006 from Time Warner of New York City, who then owned LBBG via the American publisher Little, Brown and Company.

In 2014, Little, Brown acquired independent publisher Constable and Robinson, and soon merged Piatkus with the Constable and Robinson imprints to form Piatkus Constable Robinson (PCR).[2] Another Constable and Robinson imprint, Corsair, publishes literary fiction and non-fiction separately from PCR.[3]
