Corona Publishing

San Antonio's Corona Publishing Company was established in 1977 by David Bowen. Bowen had come to San Antonio from New York in 1966 to work on the planning team for HemisFair '68. In 1976, Bowen became fascinated with the possibilities of a publishing venture when he was asked to appraise the assets of the recently bankrupt Naylor Publishing Company. Bowen briefly considered buying Naylor Company's assets, but in the end decided instead to begin his own firm, Corona.
