Sterling Publishing to Be Revamped
Emily Meehan plans to reinvent B&s publishing division By Jim Milliot | May 07, 2021
When James Daunt took over as CEO of Barnes & Noble, he had plans to remake not only the company’s retail operation but its publishing business, as well. In the U.K., Daunt is CEO of Waterstones and also owns an independent bookstore chain and a publishing business (both named Daunt Books). The pandemic altered much of his original blueprint, but he took the first step in overhauling B&N’s Sterling Publishing division in January, naming Emily Meehan publisher and chief creative officer, succeeding Theresa Thompson.

A bag of heroin and hundreds of unopened envelopes were among the items found in a minivan that police chased down Interstate 95 in Massachusetts early Monday following a string of mail thefts.
Five individuals were arrested Monday morning on a slew of charges related to the pursuit and subsequent discoveries in the van, including stealing from a mailbox and leading officers on a chase, Reading Police Chief David Clark said in a statement.
An officer was on patrol near the post office on Haven Street in Reading around 12:50 a.m. when he saw the red van parked on the roadway with its engine running. He paid special attention to the vehicle due to a recent series of mail thefts from post office boxes, according to the statement.
