Silver Burdett

Silver Burdett was an American primary education textbook publishing imprint previously operated by Pearson Education, which is a division of media conglomerate Pearson PLC.

[2] In 1962, it was acquired by Time Inc., and it became the distributor of Time-Life Books to schools and libraries.

[2] Simon & Schuster purchased it in 1986, and merged it with Ginn & Company, a leading el-hi (elementary school and high school) textbook publisher - which formed the imprint Silver Burdett & Ginn.

[3] The Silver Burdett Ginn name persisted for some time as Silver Burdett Ginn Religion, a Catholic publishing division operated under Scott Foresman before it was sold to RCL Benziger in 2007 (which also acquired Benziger from McGraw-Hill in the same year).

[4] The trademark registration for Silver Burdett Ginn was transferred to Savvas Learning Company after Pearson sold its US K-12 education division in 2020 and lapsed in 2021.
