Jones & Bartlett acquires Association Publishing Assets.

Jones & Bartlett (Sudbury, MA) has acquired a large portion of the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA; Quincy, MA) professional reference and textbook publishing program. Included in the acquisition are approximately 100 NFPA fire service and electrical titles. No terms of the

deal were given. The NFPA will continue to publish codes, standards and related handbooks.

In April 2002, Jones & Bartlett entered into a publishing partnership with the NFPA to publish training materials based on NFPA standards and the company said the current acquisition will expand the partnership, "enhance J&B's fire service list, and launch a new electrical technology list for J&," the company said.
