The Continuum International Publishing Group is a publisher of books, with its editorial offices in London and New York City.
The current company was created in 1999 with the merger of the Cassell academic and religious lists and The Continuum Publishing Company in New York. Continuum is a trade publisher, producing more than 500 books a year, with an active backlist of over 6,000 titles.
The publishing programme is focused on the humanities, in the fields of philosophy, film and music, literature, education, linguistics, theology and biblical studies. On the trade side, the US company is best known for its 33 1/3 series, a collection of pocket-sized books each featuring a personal essay by a scholar, fan expert, or musician, and concentrating on a pivotal pop music album.
It recently acquired the London-based Hambledon & London, now Hambledon Continuum, a publisher of trade history for the general reader.
