Trans World Publishing
From the New York Post's Keith Kelly:
Art & Antiques is on the block and sources say that "Wild Bill" Curtis, head of CurtCo Media is closing in on a deal.
The current owner, Doug Billian, owner of Trans World Publishing in Atlanta, declined to return a call.
Most of Billian's magazines are business-to-business titles and the A&A magazine has been something of stepchild.
I point to this for several reasons:
1) CurtCo has built an excellent stable of specialty high-end, high net-worth properties.
2) I wasn't familiar with Billian Publishing or Trans World Publishing. They also produce Boating World, Textile World (with Chinese and Latin American editions) and Billian's HealthDATA Group.
3) It seems as though print media M&A continues to flourish at all levels.
