Rowman acquires Finney books

Books. US academic book publisher Rowman & Littlefield has acquired the publishing imprints of Finney Company, a publisher, distributor, and manufacturer of educational materials targeting career and technical training and outdoor interests. The deal includes almost 400 non-fiction titles produced by 12 Finney imprints. The acquisition follows others made by Rowman & Littlefield in small niche areas it feels have been overlooked by larger publishing houses. The company, which is one of the largest independent book publishers in North America, was founded in 2013 – in London, UK. It publishes approximately 2,000 new books annually together with electronic editions.
