Two questions: is the Rinehart in Holt, Rinehart, and Winston the same otherwise associated with Farrar and Rinehart? Is the Holt the same as in Henry Holt and Company? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.166.64.4 (talk) 02:10, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
History edit
Yes and yes to the questions immediately above. And yes for "Winston" and Philadelphia, PA: John C. Winston Co., which is represented at Wikipedia by Winston Science Fiction.
- Winston
- All four of these redlinks now appear in Wikipedia articles. To see the latter articles listed, select a redlink and then select "What links here" from the left margin. John C. Winston Co (1); John C. Winston Co. (2); John C. Winston Company (4); The John C. Winston Company (6). In parentheses I give the current numbers of incoming articles (not all pages), which show that the last and longest of the four names is most now most frequently used. I doubt that that is best article name. --P64 (talk) 23:21, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- blog Hidden City Philadelphia covering the Winston Building, "Now This is a Publishing House!" (Sep 24, 2012).

Hours ago I created section 1 History with content gleaned from the pages under related publisher/division/imprint names. Holt, Rinehart and Winston and McDougal Littell now redirect to this new History section. --P64 (talk) 23:14, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- More history content is needed, and sources. No sources were evident (no inline superscripts) in the related articles from which I gleaned history content. --P64 (talk) 23:21, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- From The Wall Street Journal March 1, 1960, notice of the final approval by Holt stockholders (now cited), I dated the merger and creation of HRW to March 1960.
- (Not added to the article) I find notice of the new HRW president, etc, in WSJ 1960-03-04 and listings of three books published by HRW in NYHT 1960-03-21 ("Books Out Today", page 15, including a review of Hollywood Rajah: The Life and Times of Louis B. Mayer by Bosley Crowther). --P64 (talk) 20:53, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
