Time Life

Time Life

US publishing company

Time Life, Inc. was an American multi-media conglomerate company formerly known as a prolific production/publishing company and direct marketeer seller of books, music, videos/DVDs, and other multimedia products. After all home market book publication activities had been shuttered in 2003, the focus of the group shifted exclusively towards music, video, and entertainment experiences such as the StarVista cruises. Its products were once been sold worldwide throughout the Americas, Europe, Australasia, and Asia via television, print, retail, the Internet, telemarketing, and direct sales. Activities were largely restricted to the North American home market afterwards, and operations were focused on the US and Canada alone with very limited retail distribution overseas, ceasing altogether in 2023.
