US publishing house sadly remembers a writ (7-7)

I believe the answer is:

merriam-webster

'us publishing house' is the definition.

'sadly remembers a writ' is the wordplay.
'sadly' indicates an anagram.
'remembers'+'a'+'writ'='remembersawrit'
'remembersawrit' with letters rearranged gives 'MERRIAM-WEBSTER'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
