Henry Holt & Co.

The publishing firm of Henry Holt and Company was founded in 1866. See 'The house of Holt, 1866-1946: an editorial history' by Ellen D. Gilbert (1993). In 1959-60 the firm merged with Rinehart and Company and the John C. Winston Company to form Holt, Rinehart and Winston (q.v.). Holt, Rinehart and Winston was purchased by CBS in 1967, and was then divided by sales in 1985-1986. Henry Holt and Company was sold in 1985 to the Georg von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group and became part of Macmillan. (The remainder of the CBS publishing division was sold to Harcourt, Brace Jovanovich in 1986.) Henry Holt and Company remains an imprint of Holtzbrinck. See us.macmillan.com/HenryHolt.aspx.
