Headquartered on West 17th Street in New York City, it offered a variety of fiction and non-fiction, including history, biography, current affairs, mysteries (including British imports) and science fiction.[3] By 1995 Carroll & Graf was releasing 125 titles of fiction and non-fiction annually, by authors ranging from Anthony Burgess, Beryl Bainbridge, and Penelope Fitzgerald to Philip K. Dick and Eric Ambler. A non-fiction best-seller, Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy, was transformed by Oliver Stone into the movie JFK.[4] Carroll & Graf was purchased by the Avalon Publishing Group in 1998, and in 2003 Will Balliett became its publisher.[5] Avalon was purchased by the Perseus Books Group in January 2007.[6] Avalon closed down Carroll & Graf immediately.[7] Authors and editorsNotable authors included:[8] {{div col|colwidth=15em}}
