Sold
Australian trade magazine Books+Publishing has been sold by ProQuest’s Thorpe-Bowker to general manager Gary Pengelly, who will operate through the new company Books and Publishing Pty Ltd. He said: “The opportunity to be custodian of an iconic Australian publishing industry brand was irresistible and I must thank ProQuest for recognizing the importance of B+P to our local industry and helping to facilitate the transfer back to local ownership.”
Book+Publishing editor-in-chief Jackie Tang will step down on July 13 — the magazine says it is unrelated to the sale, and publishing and digital media coordinator Andrew Wrathall will take over. He has been with the company since 2009.
