High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Odhams Press was a British publishing firm. Originally a newspaper group, founded in 1890, it took the name Odham's Press Ltd in 1920 when it merged with John Bull magazine. By 1937 it had founded the first colour weekly, Woman, for which it set up and operated a dedicated high-speed print works. The company also owned Ideal Home (founded 1920) and the well-known equestrian magazine Horse and Hound (acquired). Later Odhams expanded into book publishing (for example, publishing Winston Churchill's Painting as a Pastime, The Gunnis Dictionary of British Sculpture 1660-1851, and an edition of the complete works of William Shakespeare).
