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]
