Obituaries are appearing for William O'Malley Armstrong, publisher with Sidgwick & Jackson and, in 1994, Macmillan, where he was general manager over the Pan imprint, who died on 22 December 2006.
Armstrong's first job in publishing was with Purnell & Sons where he worked on the children's educational magazine, Knowledge (1961-65), based on an Italian educational magazine published by Fratelli Fabbri Editori which was also one of the inspirations for Look and Learn. This was followed by New Knowledge in 1965-66, which Armstrong devised.
Obituaries in The Independent (17 January), The Times (18 January).
