Hachette Book Group did not disclose the price it's paying to acquire Hyperion, which has published more than 250 bestsellers, including "Jamie's Food Revolution" by Jamie Oliver and "Jacqueline Kennedy: Historic Conversations on Life with John F. Kennedy."
Hachette Book Group CEO Michael Pietsch was quoted in a Friday statement as saying that Hyperion, with its strong non-fiction list, is a "perfect complement" to HBC.
The statement says that under the deal, Disney Publishing Worldwide is to retain Disney-Hyperion branded children and young adult titles.
