Brand Name (at least to us older folk)
Many of my early purchases (I only bought paperbacks) were
Ace Doubles with the familiar Yellow/White halves on the spine. Ace (singles) had Yellow spines
DelRey, Baen became a
Brand to look for
Bottom line is
Good Brands will keep their names when bought and brought into the fold.
Here in the silicon valley, companies get bought for their I. P. (patents). The
brand will languish and later, the remains will be sold off, cheap.
