Westview Press was an American publishing company headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, founded by Frederick A. Praeger in 1975.

Field of work

Westview primarily publishes textbooks.[1]

History

Praeger Publishing sold Westview in 1991 to SCS, who owned it until 1995, when it was purchased by HarperCollins.[2] However, HarperCollins and Westview had difficulty working together due to very different corporate cultures and values.[3]

Perseus bought Westview in March 1998 from HarperCollins.

In April 2016, Perseus Books Group's publishing operations, including Westview, were purchased by Hachette Book Group.[4][5]

Hachette Book Group's Perseus Books Group division sold it to Taylor & Francis in 2017.[1]
