citations - How to correctly identify publisher?


Sometimes multiple publishers and locations are listed in sequence. For example:



PENGUIN CLASSICS


Published by the Penguin Group


Penguin Books Ltd, 80 Strand, London WC2R 0RL, England


Penguin Group (USA) Inc., 375 Hudson Street, New York, New York 10014, USA


Penguin Group (Canada), 90 Eglinton Avenue East, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M4P 2Y3 (a division of Pearson Penguin Canada Inc.)


Penguin Books Ltd, Registered Offices: 80 Strand, London WC2R 0RL, England



www.penguin.com


First published in Great Britain by William Heinemann Ltd 1968


Published in Penguin Classics 2011



Is it correct to assume that the first listed is the correct publisher of the current book, in this case, "Penguin Books Ltd"?


Or is it more appropriate to attribute it to "Penguin Group" or even "Penguin Classics"?
