HarperCollins, the second largest trade publisher in the U.S., has completed its acquisition of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books & Media. HC, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, agreed to buy the HMH trade division in March for $349 million.

(Trade is the term used to describe books intended for a general audience as opposed to, for example, academic books.)
