Allyn & Bacon, founded in 1868, is a higher education textbook publisher in the areas of education, humanities and social sciences. It is an imprint of Pearson Education and headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.
Allyn & Bacon was an independent company until it was purchased by Esquire, Inc., the former publishers of the magazine of the same name, in 1981. Esquire, Inc. was sold to Gulf+Western in 1983, and Allyn & Bacon became part of Simon & Schuster's education division. Pearson purchased the education and reference divisions of Simon & Schuster in 1998.
In 2007 Allyn & Bacon merged with Merrill, also a Pearson company. As a result of the merge, the company's website changed from www.ablongman.com to www.pearsonhighered.com.
