DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley) is a British-based multinational publishing company founded in 1974 with publications in the US starting in 1991. The publisher specializes in illustrated reference books for children and adults. As of 2000 (due to an overestimation of the market for Star Wars books resulting in massive overstock and large debt), DK was taken over by the Pearson PLC media company and made part of Penguin Group, which also owned the Penguin Books label; post merger, it is thus currently owned by Random House Books.
