PW: MHC Publishing Group Off to a Good Start

New Asia Book

The company's new Business Week Books imprint, meanwhile, is in the process of speeding to market what it believes is the first title on the current Asian financial crisis. Acquired in February, Asia Falling is scheduled to be published on May 29. The book is being written by Callum Henderson, who works in MMS Standard &Poor's (a MHC subsidiary) Hong Kong office. A first printing of 40,000 copies is planned, and an MHC spokesperson said the release of Asia Falling reflects the new Business Week Books imprint's move to cover a broader range of issues, including topical subjects.
