for Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, Inc.
Biography"Holt, Rinehart and Winston (HRW) was created in March 1960 by the merger of Henry Holt and Company of New York City (established 1866); Rinehart & Company of New York, descendant of Farrar & Rinehart (est. 1929); and the John C. Winston Company of Philadelphia (est. 1884). "Henry Holt is the surviving concern, but will be known as Holt, Rinehart, Winston, Inc." In 1967, HRW was acquired by CBS. Also in 1985, the educational publishing arm along with the Holt, Rinehart and Winston name was acquired by Harcourt. Then, Harcourt made further divestments. From 2001 HRW was a division of Harcourt Education owned by Reed Elsevier, which sold off parts of Harcourt Education, including Holt, Rinehart, and Winston to Houghton Mifflin in 2007, part of a reorganization that created Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH).
