Random House's CEO will be the new CEO of the combined company, and I believe is the slight majority partner in the deal, so we can hope that RH policies will prevail in the new PRH. I haven't seen any news on this issue re the merger, has anyone else?
There are thousands of Penguin ebooks available at the Brooklyn Public Library.
