Aurora Publishers in Nashville had a publishing history that as graphed by OpenLibrary looked like it was shooting the world a bird when its books first started coming out in 1970.
The pinky and ring fingers representing the years 1968 and 1969 were statistical anomalies, since 30 out of 57 books Aurora published in its first year, 1970, were reprints of books that had been published those two preceding years, all put out by publishing houses in London, with MacMillan giving the lion's share at 22, with the rest spread out among six other English houses: Longmans, Green; G. Allen & Unwin; E. Arnold; Harvill; Frewin; and Sphere. An additional ten books were issued for the first time by Aurora in 1970 by authors with established publishing histories at these Anglo houses, and none of the authors ever had a new edition published by Aurora, let alone a new work.
Taken as a whole, this grouping carries with it a level of literary criticism and theory that could leave Virginia Woolf a mite intimidated, but it is startling when juxtaposed to any of the 17 other offerings put out by Aurora in that first year of its Sturm Verlagswesen,
For example, I could draw attention to Minnie Pearl Cooks, by Minnie Pearl, for the simple reason that it is the sole book which Aurora published that I found Aurora had actually reprinted in a subsequent edition, and as such must represent a profitability that exceeded the $1.98 price tag that hung traditionally from her hat during performances.

OpenLibrary is weak in some informational areas (like accurate titles, and complete author names) but it is a very convenient way for comparing different editions that a book can go through. I may be wrong in many specifics, but by comparing references with the other big book databanks, like Hathitrust, OCLC, and Amazon, I found an unmistakable pattern emerge that in no way represents publishing as a business---and despite the high tone its instantaneously established backlist intended, it is in no way a high calling either.
Oh how Nashville must have been aflutter that first year with the other nine or so Music City U.S.A. offerings of Aurora!
Works like---I'm hard put to call it a 'book'---Nashville, sights and sounds, by James Arnold, with an introduction by Chet Atkins, a vinyl LP with 40 pages of text and illustrations.
In its single Amazon review, left this past August by James E. Arnold, which is the only review Arnold's ever left at Amazon, we may forgive him for his pride:
I wrote this book, so naturally I love it. It was published on December 7, 1970, by Aurora Publishers, Nashville, TN. The four available copies listed here for sale by third parties do not reflect that I am the author as can be confirmed by looking inside the front cover, which is an album Jacket containing a record with an assortment of country music by the Nashville Pickers, not Chet Atkins. Chet wrote an introduction for the book but is otherwise not involved except he helped promote it for some time. The ISBN at the time of publication was 10:0876951019 and the current ISBN-13:9780876951019. You can look it up to see my authorship confirmed. In the past Amazon has reflected that I am the author but for some reason these listings omit that fact. For over 15 years this was a popular coffee table book in Nashville and around the country. Now it is a collectors' item. Enjoy.I don't mean to come across as a snob---cause I'm not. There is Aurora's 1970, Requiem for a Nun: On Stage and Off, by Barbara Izard and Clara Hieronymus (not that Clara's name appears at OpenLibrary). It may be a treatise on Faulkner, but then again, maybe it's not. Hieronymus was the arts and theater critic at The Tennessean starting in the 1950s, who died last year at age 100, and as such was a grand, nurturing but critical force for several generations of budding Southern thespians, myself included.
And since theater is what this is all about, we can see Aurora more than just "salting the audience." It was established as a publishing house in the same way Jacque Srouji was established as a journalist---with tons of behind-the-scenes support and absolutely zero credibility in reality. Aurora's publisher, Dominic de Lorenzo, was outed as a CIA agent as far back as 1977. On November 21, 1999, Neil Strauss at the New York Times, in Unearthing the New Nashville's Wax Castoffs, confirmed that high-spirited but rather slippery designation for de Lorenzo, claiming for him the CIA operatives' sine qua non---that of faking his own death in 1980.
There must be a cost beyond the grandiose Tavistock muscle on display here. What might arguably be called Aurora's first book is a work of fiction titled, It's time, my love, it's time, by Vasiliy Aksyonov, translated from the Russian by Olive Stevens. OpenLibrary says it carries a publication date of 1969, but HathiTrust lists it as [Nashville, Aurora Publishers [1969, c1970] which seems to reflect a printed date which was overly ambitious. Aurora may have been a slacker at publishing, but Nashville was then and remains one of the largest, if not the largest, center for book printing in the world, most of it of the Baptist and Methodist variety.
In what is surely not a coincidence, but rather a Russian connection, seemingly simultaneous with the launch of Aurora of Nashville, Aurora Art Publishers of Leningrad began its own enterprise. It is hard to fathom what the inflated figures found at OpenLibrary really represent, other than Aurora Art did produce some books in the late seventies and early eighties, but it was downhill from there on. They may put out some new edition of a whorey art warhorse every other year, but neither do they fold up, which is what happens in the real world.
The last new work I spotted for sale was 'Pozna jesen na oplencu', written in Croatian, and published in 1993 by Aurora Art, then of Beograd.
The fine art publisher Harry N. Abrams of New York collaborated with Aurora on a couple of publications, like The Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow : Russian and Soviet painting, put out under a joint imprint in 1979. I wonder why such a prestigious firm would share an imprint with an upstart, unless they absolutely had to---for, let's say---geopolitical reasons. When the book was reissued in '86 it was flying solo as "Leningrad: Aurora Art Publishers, ©1986."
A later paperback edition presently offered on Amazon puts it this way: Publisher: n/a (1989)
An image search turned up these tiny, and/or oblique images as marketing for the no-name Aurora brand,
While the renowned Harry N. Abrams is still offering its 1979 volume thusly:
Isn't it perfectly clear from a design perspective? You don't have to like girls to like horses.
If not, the volume below, which came in number four on the image search, may represent the dustjacket-free Cyrillic version of the Tretyakov Gallery volume in one of its trinity of incarnations---or maybe not. But I recognize the superimposed 'MW Books' copyright as the same found on several Aurora of Nashville offerings. What exactly is being copyrighted here? The thumbnail? Something so anonymous sure isn't going to develop brand identification. This is the difference between having a track record and a gun to your head.

Coup: The Day the Democrats Ousted Their Governor, Put Republican Lamar Alexander in Office Early, and Stopped a Pardon Scandal, by Keel Hunt (Author), John L. Seigenthaler (Foreword)
[Nashville: Vanderbilt University Press, August 2, 2013]
Coup is the behind-the-scenes story of an abrupt political transition, unprecedented in U.S. history. Based on 163 interviews, Hunt describes how collaborators came together from opposite sides of the political aisle and, in an extraordinary few hours, reached agreement that the corruption and madness of the sitting Governor of Tennessee, Ray Blanton, must be stopped. The sudden transfer of power that caught Blanton unawares was deemed necessary because of what one FBI agent called "the state's most heinous political crime in half a century"--a scheme of selling pardons for cash.
On January 17, 1979, driven by new information that some of the worst criminals in the state's penitentiaries were about to be released (and fears that James Earl Ray might be one of them), a small bipartisan group chose to take charge. Senior Democratic leaders, friends of the sitting governor, together with the Republican governor-elect Lamar Alexander (now U.S. Senator from Tennessee), agreed to oust Blanton from office before another night fell. It was a maneuver unique in American political history.
From the foreword by John L. Seigenthaler:
"The individual stories of those government officials involved in the coup--each account unique, but all of them intersecting--were scattered like disconnected pieces of a jigsaw puzzle on the table of history until the author conceived this book. Perhaps because it happened so quickly, and without major disagreement, protest, or dissent, this truly historic moment has been buried in the public mind. In unearthing the drama in gripping detail, Keel Hunt assures that the 'dark day' will be remembered as a bright one in which conflicted politicians came together in the public interest."

Summary:
Mrs. Srouji, admittedly in the ''anti-nuke'' camp initially, gladly accepted an offer from the Citizens Energy Council in the fall of 1974 to write a magazine article on the dangers of nuclear power; shortly thereafter, the article appeared in Nashville magazine. Most copies, she says, were sold out once they reached the newsstand; ''the anti-nukes were delighted, for their pupil had performed well, and I stood in center stage to receive their applause.'' She soon was the recipient of acclaim from other concerned citizens, as well. Soon, however, the fanaticism of the anti-nukes and their lack of answers for questions tossed in their direction caused Mrs. Srouji to have second thoughts. These second thoughts grew into serious misgivings about the original article; she felt a second article was in order, and the publisher of Nashville magazine agreed. The second article, refuting almost point-by-point all that was contained in the original article appeared on January 1, 1975. A month later, the publisher of Aurora Publishers, Inc., having read both magazine articles, asked Mrs. Srouji to write a book on nuclear power; committed to producing a work as objective as possible, they gave her a free hand and placed no editorial restrictions on the final manuscript. So she went to the sources, dug out the facts, visited the installations, read the documents, asked a newsperson's critical questions, and organized her data. Along the way, she was investigated by the FBI, summoned to testify before a Congressional committee, fired from her job, and otherwise harassed. The book, heavily illustrated and fully documented, is considered by the publishers as ''the definitive authority for the concerned layman who would understand today's urgent need for nuclear power.''
