CDN Publishing Acquires Whitman from Anderson Press

CDN Publishing, LLC, the numismatic data company that publishes the wholesale-pricing Greysheet and other resources, has acquired book publisher Whitman Publishing. Included in the acquisition are Whitman brands, including H.E. Harris & Co. (stamps), Cowens (supplies), and the Whitman Coin and Collectibles Expo.

The deal was inked at Anderson Press headquarters in Florence, Ala., on Oct. 31. Management and staffing of both companies will remain in place, with main offices in Alabama and Virginia.

“Anderson Press has nurtured and grown Whitman since 2003, building on the Official Red Book brand and creating hundreds of new books and products with leading authors and experts,” said Mary Burleson, Whitman Publishing president. “We’re proud of the growth our team has encouraged in the collecting community. Now Whitman is in good hands with CDN Publishing, and we foresee continuing to thrive and innovate.”
