Mainstream Publishing To Close After 35 Years In BusinessPosted at 8:07AM Friday 01 Mar 2013 Mainstream's final book will be published in March 2014 and it is thought that Random House, with which Mainstream entered into a joint venture in 2005, will continue to publish its back catalogue.In a joint statement Mr Campbell and Mr MacKenzie said: "The past 35 years have been, for the most part, an immense pleasure. "It's been our privilege to have worked with so many interesting people and talented authors and to have been surrounded by such highly professional and dedicated staff. We're proud of what we've all achieved." They added: "Our priority now will be to publish our remaining outstanding lists with the flair for which we've become renowned. "In some, hopefully lengthy, paragraph in the great history of publishing there will be recognition of Mainstream's contribution as a successful, innovative and profitable company. "We're going out on a high. For Mainstream there should be no other way."
