When I see DK I think Dorling Kindersley. Perhaps it's in reference to when they got in trouble back in the late 90's(?) when they way overprinted on the Star Wars books (something like didn't even sell half of what was printed) they were publishing and as a result were taken over by Pearson/Penguin? No idea about what if any bankruptcy was involved in that.
