From the Associated Press:
Random House Inc., which recently underwent a major consolidation, is expanding again.
The publisher announced today that it acquired Ten Speed Press, which specializes in cookbooks, business and spiritual works, including such favorites as "The Moosewood Cookbook" and "What Color is Your Parachute?" the million-selling job-hunting guide series.
Late last year, Random House announced it was reducing its major divisions from five to three, with an undetermined number of employees laid off.
Ten Speed Press, based in Berkeley, Calif., was founded in 1971 by Philip Wood, who will continue to serve as publisher emeritus.
Random House is owned by the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann AG.
