Chronicle Books Owner, McEvoy Group, Buys Princeton Architectural Press

The 30-year old Princeton Architectural Press has long been affiliated with the much larger Chronicle Books, who more than 15 years ago began acting as the Press’ distributor. Now they’re set to become even closer as Publishers Weekly reports that the McEvoy Group, who owns Chronicle, along with Spin magazine and publisher becker&meyer!, has purchased Princeton for an undisclosed sum. McEvoy told PW that is has no plans to alter anything within the publisher’s operations, and now-former owner Kevin Lippert will continue to run Princeton and Chronicle will keep their role in sales and distribution.
