I left Houghton Mifflin about 3 months ago and was shocked this morning to hear the news that there is a potential merger in the works between Houghton Mifflin (Boston-based publisher) and the Irish company Riverdeep.  The story still seems to be developing as the Times Online in the UK is the only place reporting it so far.  No press release from Houghton Mifflin yet or news in the Boston Globe or Herald.  Stay tuned for more…
