Courier Sells Off Custom Publishing Division

"The sale will allow us to focus more of our time and energy on Dover Publications," says James F. Conway III, Courier chairman and CEO. Dover Publications, founded in the 1940s and one of the most prestigious small publishers in America, was acquired by Courier in September 2000.

"Dover is a much larger business and holds far greater opportunity for us. The knowledge and skills we have developed with Courier Custom Publishing, particularly in the area of e-commerce and electronic direct marketing, are allowing us to greatly enhance Dover's value," Conway remarks.
