Publishers Overview
Publishers are companies and organizations that distribute works. Publishers can have a hierarchical structure (parent/child relationships).
Filter, sort, and group_by fields
The API supports filtering, sorting, and grouping on publishers fields. See Filtering, Sorting, and Grouping for syntax.
Fields marked (deprecated) are .search filters — use the search parameter instead.
