As per the Macmillan website: Boxtree was established in 1990 and soon grew into a successful independent publishing house. It became one of Pan Macmillan's imprints in June 1996. It started out with a focus on 'TV tie-ins' (books tied to television programmes) and quickly diversified into film tie-ins, pop music, sport, biographies and humour. Various Simpsons "Dumpbin" items have also been available, i.e., presentation stands, usually containing some 20-40 copies of a book, used for point of sale merchandising in bookshops. A "Bart Simpson Dumpbin" was available in 1991 under ISBN 1-85283-687-3 from Boxtree.
