Blackwell Acquires Brandywine Press
Agreement Adds 55 Higher Education Titles to Blackwell's Book
Publishing Portfolio
Boston, MA- September 6, 2006-Blackwell Publishing announced
today the acquisition of the publishing assets of Brandywine
Press, a publisher of essential college textbooks in American
history and American literature.
The acquisition of Brandywine Press complements Blackwell's North
American history list and adds 55 higher education history books
to Blackwell's publishing portfolio. "Blackwell has a long
background of providing the academic community with a
comprehensive collection of high-quality history books," said
Steve Smith, Editorial Director, Blackwell Publishing. "This
acquisition enables us to expand our list in a range of important
areas, including civil rights and African-American history,
immigration, women's history, and a number of areas in 19th and
20th century American history, and provide must-have information
to students and specialists."
The addition of these books supports Blackwell's efforts to
expand its presence in American history. Blackwell recently
recruited an Executive Editor dedicated exclusively to the
development of this field in the higher education market.
Blackwell Publishing will take over the imprint of Brandywine
Press effective immediately.
