Jan. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Amazon.com Inc. delved deeper into the publishing business with a new agreement with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, letting the New York company distribute titles from Amazon Publishing’s East Coast Group.
The books, including works from authors such as Deepak Chopra and James Franco, will debut later this year, the companies said today in a statement. Houghton Mifflin’s newly named New Harvest imprint will distribute the books in North America outside of Amazon’s e-commerce site.
