 | Until July-1984 all DAW books were characterized by yellow spines and a prominent yellow cover box containing the company's logo as well as a chronological publication number. |
 | Although it is now a member of the global giant Penguin Group, DAW itself remains closely held by its current publishers, Elizabeth R. Wollheim (Donald's daughter) and Sheila E. Gilbert. |
