US publisher. No third-party sources (WP:V) and no indication of notability (WP:N). A Google search finds no qualifying sources, even after attempting to strip out false positives relating to Amazon Prime or "prime books" in the descriptive sense of "good books".

Merge/redirect to Sean Wallace, the founder, per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. Of the two sources I found, one provided a few paragraphs of coverage and one was an interview with little non-interview material:
1. Keene, Brian (February 2002). "Oh, the horror!". Science Fiction Chronicle. Vol. 23, no. 2. ProQuest 205498435.
  The article notes:
  
  A new small press publisher has emerged with the launch of Prime Books. Founded by Sean Wallace and Garry Nurrish, Prime hit the ground running with a half dozen new novels and collections.
  The promising debut line-up includes City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff VanderMeer, The Nature of Balance by British sensation Tim Lebbon, Dregs of Society by Michael Laimo, the Distance Travelled by Chiaroscuro's Brett Savory, Gene O'Neill's collection of sci-fi/horror blends Ghosts, Spirits, Computers, and World Machines, Tim Waggoner's All Too Surreal, and I-O by newcomer Simon Logan.
  Wallace is one of the founders of Cosmos Books. Nurrish is the editor of Redsine, a popular Australian horror magazine.
3. Dziemianowicz, Stefan (2004-07-26). "Prime Suspect". Publishers Weekly. Vol. 251, no. 30. ProQuest 197102536.
  The article notes: "PW Talks with Sean Walace, editor of Prime Books. PW: Prime has become a major player in fantastic fiction publishing in a very short time. How did it evolve into the publisher it is today?" This is an interview so cannot be used to establish notability.
