Part I.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

     Results of Operations:   Three Months Ended June 30, 1995
Compared With The Three Months Ended June 30, 1994

Net Sales were $ 39.2 million for the three months ended June
30, 1995 compared with $34.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1994, an increase of 14%.  Global book publishing revenues
increased 23% over the prior year period. Domestic revenues advanced 
25% due principally  to higher fall stocking orders to medical
wholesalers and bookstores .  International revenues increased
21%. Higher product sales in Europe, particularly in Germany,
account for the increase.  Periodical revenues declined 2% from
the prior-year period. Subscription- based revenue remained
unchanged from the prior year but advertising
revenue declined. Electronic Media revenues increased 30 % over
the prior year as a result of new product and higher sales of
existing software and video products. The positive currency
movement in the German mark against the dollar contributed 3% of
the total revenue gain.

Cost of Sales was $ 22.8 million , or 58% of net sales for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $ 21.2 million, or
62% of net sales for the same period last year, an increase of
8%. 

Profit margins improved in book publishing and electronic media
lines principally to higher volume while profit margins for
periodical publishing declined slightly due to lower revenues,
higher editorial costs and rising paper prices.

Selling and Distribution expenses were $ 8.7 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1995
compared to $ 7.7 million for the same period last year, an
increase of 14%, approximately equal to the increase in revenues.

General and Administrative expenses were $ 3.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $ 2.9 million
for the same period last year, an increase of 16%. Costs rose
proportionately greater than revenues due to the recording of
higher incentive compensation, larger provision for bad debt and
additional costs associated with the development of new software
for the Company's customer fulfillment system. In addition, in
the prior-year  period the Company received office rental income
( from the Cadmus Communications who purchased the Company's
printing division) to help reduce building expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization expenses were $1,090,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to $ 925,000 for the
same period last year, an increase of 18%. The increase is
attributed to amortization for acquisitions made in Germany,
Asia, and the United States,  as well depreciation for new
investments in computers and customer fulfillment systems. 

Other Income (Expense) was ($32,000) for the three
months ended June 30,1995 compared to ($44,000) for the comparable
period last year. Investment income increased due
to interest earned on installment payments received in
connection with the sale of the Company's printing division.
Interest expense was higher due to settlements on certain tax
audits.

Equity in Earnings of Affiliated Entities was a $ 18,000 loss
for the current period compared to a gain of $ 14,000 for the
prior- year period. 

Net Income for the three months ended June 30, 1995 was $
2.1 million compared to $ 1.2 million in the prior- year period,
an increase of 68%. The increase in net income is due to the higher
level of sales in book publishing in both domestic and international
operations coupled with improved cost efficiencies in book manufacturing
and marketing.

              Results of Operations: Six Months Ended June 30,
1995 Compared With The Six Months Ended June 30, 1994

Net Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were $ 73.9
million compared with $ 63.2 million for the comparable period
last year, an increase of 17%. Global book publishing revenues
were 26% greater than the prior year. Domestic revenues climbed
27%. The increase came from new product sales introduced during
the last nine months, including the classic 26th edition of
Stedman's Medical Dictionary.  International revenues were 25%
higher than the same period last year. Periodical revenues were
3% higher due to new journal publications , while circulation
and advertising remain relatively unchanged. Electronic Media
revenue advanced 39% due to the introduction of new product and
stronger backlist sales of existing software and videos. The
positive currency movement in the German mark against the dollar
contributed 4% of the total revenue gain. 

Cost of Sales was $ 44.5 million , or 60% of net sales, for the
current period  compared to $ 39.8 million or 63% of net sales
for the prior year period. The improved gross margin is a result
of higher book publishing sales and improved manufacturing costs
in book production. Periodical publishing margins declined due
to higher levels of editorial expenses and rising paper costs.  

Selling and Distribution expenses were $ 16.8 million or 23 % of
net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared with $
14.5 million or 23% of net sales for the prior year period. The
increase in expenses is attributed to the higher volume of 
revenues.

General and Administrative expenses were $ 6.5 million for the
current period, or 9% of net sales, compared to $ 5.3 million or
8% of net sales for the prior period. The Company incurred
additional expenses for the installation of a new customer
fulfillment system, higher reserves for incentive compensation,
and larger provision for bad debt. In addition, in the prior
year period the Company received rental income for the lease of
certain office space, helping to offset building costs. See
comment in the discussion of second quarter results.

Depreciation and Amortization expenses  were $ 2.2 million for
the first six months of 1995 compared to $ 1.8 million for the
same period last year. Amortization expenses increased because
of investments of $ 9.0 million in publishing properties over
the past twelve months. Depreciation increased because of
purchases of new computers and software for customer fulfillment.

Other Income (Expense) was $ 295,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 compared with ($23,000) for the comparable
period last year. Investment income increased because of gains on
foreign currency transactions and interest income earned on the final
payments received in connection with the sale of the printing division in
November, 1993. 

Equity in Earnings of Affiliated Entities was $ 383,000 for the
current period compared with $ 557,000 for the same period last year.
Earnings from affiliates in Germany and South America were lower than the
prior- year period.

Net Income was $ 3.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1995 compared with $ 1.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1994, an increase of 73%. Higher revenues in global book
publishing and improved cost margins in book production are the principal
factors for  the increase in earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total assets were $ 122.3 million at June 30,1995 compared with
$ 123.0 million at December 31, 1994 and $ 105.6 million at June
30, 1994. Working capital is $ 26.2 million at June 30, 1995
compared with $ $ 27.5 million at December 31, 1994 and $ 29.9
million at the end of June , 1994. 

At June 30,1995 the Company carried a net borrowing position 
[defined as cash less short term and long term borrowings ] of  
$6.9 million compared with a net cash position of  $7.7 million
at December 31, 1994 and a net borrowing position of  $0.9
million at June,1994.  The drop in net cash since the start of
the year is due to (1) the normal seasonal use of cash received
at the beginning of the year for annual renewal subscriptions,
(2) the buildup of receivables and inventory reflecting the
growth in business, (3) acquisitions of $4.7 million for
publishing properties,  (4) capital spending of $1.0 million
for new computers and software for a newly installed customer
fulfillment system, and (5) and leasehold improvements and
furnishings of $1.5 million for new corporate
headquarters.

The Company's long term debt is $6.3 million or 13% of
shareholders' equity at June 30, 1995
compared with $8.5 million or 20% of shareholders' equity at
June 30, 1994. Shareholders's equity is $48.8 million at June
30, 1995 compared with $42.2 million at June 30, 1994, an
increase of 16%. The Company currently pays a dividend of $0.12
per share per quarter , or $0.48 per year . Earnings per
share for the past twelve months is $0.91 per share. 

At June 30, 1995 the Company recorded $6.5 million as a deferred
U.S. tax asset . This asset is a result of the recognition in
prior years of postretirement benefit obligations,  reserves for
writeoff of assets and recording of expense reserves related to
the sale of the Printing division, reserves for expenses for
relocation of corporate offices, and reserves for future
inventory deductions. The Company expects the deferred tax asset
to be realized through future profitable operations, based on
the long term earnings record and thus has recorded the asset
free of any valuation allowance.

The Company continues to search for investments in publishing
properties and expects to fund such acquisitions through
internally generated cash flow.
