Macmillan wall map of Jamaica, 2001: map recto (map [copyright] Macmillan Publishers Limited) Macmillan company website, December 4, 2008: (Macmillan Publishers Ltd. of London is one of the worlds largest and best known English-language publishers. It has offices in over seventy countries on six continents. Macmillan Publishers Ltd. is not to be confused with the former New York-based publishing house, Macmillan Publishing Company. A few years after World War II ended, Macmillan Publishers Ltd. sold its U.S. company, which became Macmillan Publishing Company. It grew to be one of the largest U.S. publishing houses. Although they shared the Macmillan name, the London and New York Macmillan companies operated entirely independently of each other. Macmillan Publishing Company ceased to exist as such in the early 1990s. The assets of the company were sold and divided up, resulting in the use of the Macmillan name on various titles and lines of books which are still in the market today.) |
