  Target Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Target Books was a British publishing imprint, established in 1973 by Universal-Tandem Publishing Co Ltd, a paperback publishing company.
The imprint was established as a children's imprint to complement the adult Tandem imprint, and became well known for their highly successful range of novelisations and other assorted books based on the popular science-fiction television series Doctor Who.
WH Allen was purchased by the Virgin Group in the late 1980s and changed its name to Virgin Publishing in 1991, although the Target name and logo survived on Virgin's Doctor Who novelisations and reprints for a while into the early 1990s.

 Virgin Books - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virgin Books is the book publishing arm of Virgin Enterprises, the company originally set up by Richard Branson as a record company.
The book publishing arm was established in the late 1970s; in the latter part of the 1980s Virgin purchased several existing companies, including WH Allen, well-known among Doctor Who fans for their Target Books imprint; Virgin Books was incorporated into WH Allen in 1989, but in 1991 WH Allen was renamed Virgin Publishing Ltd.
Among Virgin Publishing's best-known books are the Doctor Who New Adventures novels, officially-licensed full-length novels carrying on the story of the popular science-fiction television series following its cancellation in 1989.

 Stephen P. Halbrook - Books - Target Switzerland
Yet, as the Nazi tide spread across Europe from the Pyrenees to the Volga, one nation stood free, albeit armed to the teeth-its flag unbowed in a sea of twisted crosses.
This book examines German plans for the conquest of Switzerland, as well as Swiss preparations to resist the assault.
The book will be an eye-opener to many Americans, who never imagined that the nation that retained its straight cross, not a twisted one, was a nation of shooters, fully prepared to turn the Alps into a deathtrap for the panzers, if the Germans had dared to attempt a conquest.

 Fundamentalist religious zealots target books - PittsburghLIVE.com
The basic message of the leaflet was much of what Harris' book was railing against: That is, people investing their energies in what he describes as "intrinsically dangerous" religious beliefs at a time in history when disagreements about God are causing more death, wars and destruction than any other philosophy.
Whether you agree with Harris' observations or not, that someone or some organization had targeted his book was more than just disturbing.
As an author, it's a fair guess Harris would feel vindicated knowing his book's advocacy of free thought is considered such a threat to some religious people they'd target him for a leaflet campaign.

 Stephen P. Halbrook, Ph.D. - Books - Target Switzerland
Hitler was livid that the Swiss used fighters bought from Germany to shoot down 11 German Luftwaffe planes; the saboteurs he sent to blow up Swiss airfields were captured (they aroused suspicion because they were all dressed in the same odd outfits!).
It is a pleasure to have Sarpedon, a first-rate military publisher, fill the void in World War II history by publishing my book on the Nazi plans to eradicate the Swiss democracy and the Swiss plans to resist to the end.
Having devoted much of my career to American constitutional law, publishing books and arguing in the Supreme Court, I was intrigued to know how the Swiss institutions which influenced our Constitution proved their worthiness in the darkest years of European history: Hitler's Third Reich, 1933-45.

This page is dedicated to one of the obsessions of my early years, the Doctor Who novelisations put out by Target (and W. Allen in hardback).
In those pre-video days, the Target books were the only way to relive the TV adventures, and the best way to find out about all those I'd missed (through no fault of my own, of course — I got into Doctor Who with Tom Baker's first episode, Robot, at the impressionable age of 3).
The best thing about them, though, was that many of them were short enough to be read in a day — a great virtue in these days of blockbuster doorstoppers.
