Keith Kelly reports that at least 28 parties have expressed interest in looking over Time Inc.‘s Niche pubs as potential bidders but only a few are from U.S with financial players and European publishers making up the bulk. The preview books are expected to be released early next month but one source tells Kelly the 18 titles, which include the Parenting Group, have free cash flow of about $30 million and could bring $300-400 million.
