Per Wikipedia and Penguin, Krause Publications (created by Chester Lee Krause) was acquired as part of F+W by Penguin in 2019:

In June 2019 the assets of F+W were sold at bankruptcy auctions. The book publishing assets and Krause brand were acquired by Penguin Random House. The magazines were dispersed; Numismatic News, for instance, was acquired by Active Interest Media.

Penguin's page is here.

A number of coin books are there. Can anyone find Rulau here?

    Which Rulau? Russ authored a number of different catalogs for KP all of which are out of print with no plans for new editions, at least according to ex-KP and current AIM staffers that came by my ANA table.

    The Whitman CWT & HT catalogs have for better or worse gutted the important middle portion of the "Standard Catalog Of United States Tokens". A new edition of the SCUST would require a major rewrite (probably beyond the staff expertise at Penguin) for an at best marginally profitable catalog.

    I see no signs of life... selling off back catalog books from the warehouse isn't life.
