Houghton Mifflin Is Off the Auction Block

March 12, 2009

Education Media & Publishing Group Ltd., one of the largest textbook publishers in the world, has decided not to sell its Houghton Mifflin Harcourt trade-publishing division after failing to get its price. Barry O'Callaghan, chairman and CEO of Education Media, said there were three interested potential buyers but that he was unwilling to strike a deal that he felt didn't represent the full value of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
