Still flourishing today under the editorship of David Pearson, it is now owned by Tom and Fergus Fleming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade by. \u003c\/strong\u003e Queen Anne Press was founded in 1951 to publish limited editions by notable authors, and was managed in its early days by Ian Fleming.
