Underwood–Miller Inc. was a science fiction and fantasy small press specialty publishing house in San Francisco, California, founded in 1976. It was founded by Tim Underwood, a San Francisco book and art dealer, and Chuck Miller, a Pennsylvania used book dealer, after the two had met at a convention.
Underwood and Miller chose to begin with a first hardcover edition of The Dying Earth by Jack Vance. Both Donald M. Grant, Publisher, Inc. and Mirage Press had tried to publish The Dying Earth but had failed to obtain the rights. Underwood was acquainted with Vance and was able to secure the rights directly from him. Vance was enthusiastic, had several other projects in mind, and became the author most identified with the press. Other authors published by Underwood–Miller include Philip K. Dick and Roger Zelazny.
In 1994, Underwood and Miller decided to dissolve the partnership. As their last book, they reprinted The Dying Earth.
