New York Book publishing legend Sonny Mehta, editor-in-chief of Knopf and chairman of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, has died at the age of 77.
Knopf confirmed Mehta's passing to CNN Business; Mehta's brother-in-law, Naveen Patnaik, tweeted he was"deeply grieved ... He was one of the world's best editors and an extremely civilized person." Knopf said the cause was complications from pneumonia. Mehta became editor-in-chief of Knopf in 1987.
