Overview
Overview
Publishing became a wholly owned subsidiary of Barnes & Noble, when the book retailer acquired it in 2003. On January 5, 2012, The Wall Street Journal reported that Barnes & Noble had put its Sterling Publishing business up for sale. Negotiations failed to produce a buyer, however, and as of March 2012 Sterling was reportedly no longer for sale. In January 2022, Sterling rebranded as Union Square & Co. In March 2022, the company acquired the British children's publisher Boxer Books, one of its distribution clients. In 2024, Barnes & Noble sold Sterling to Hachette Book Group.
