[Tex/LaTex] BibTex does not include publisher in Book

bibliographiesbibtex

Why does the following BibTex-entry not include the publisher?

@book{billingsley,
  title={Convergence of Probability Measures},
  author={P. Billingsley},
  year={1968},
  publisher={Wiley, New York}
}

There is a warning that the journal is empty, but yeah, it is exactly how I have copied it from google scholar, so I have no idea what to do.

The output is only title, author, and year.

What can I do? Sorry, I am a beginner.

Here is a MWE:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,titlepage]{memoir}

\usepackage[OT1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[sc]{mathpazo}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts,mathrsfs}
\usepackage[amsmath,thmmarks]{ntheorem}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{soul}
\usepackage{pdfpages}

\begin{document}

text \cite{billingsley}

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{refs}


\end{document

To long for a comment.

I have reduced your MWE to the following code, running without errors and returns the desired result. My system here is MiKTeX 2.9, updated yesterday. Styles plainor alpha do not change the publisher output.

Which tex districution do you use? And are youre packages up to date? You can check this by adding a \listfiles before the \documentclass ... and compare the resulting list in the log file with this:

 *File List*
filecontents.sty    2011/10/08 v1.3 Create an external file from within a LaTeX document
  memoir.cls    2013/05/30 v3.7b configurable book, report, article document class
   ifpdf.sty    2011/01/30 v2.3 Provides the ifpdf switch (HO)
  ifetex.sty    2011/12/15 v1.2 ifetex
 ifxetex.sty    2010/09/12 v0.6 Provides ifxetex conditional
ifluatex.sty    2010/03/01 v1.3 Provides the ifluatex switch (HO)
    etex.sty    1998/03/26 v2.0 eTeX basic definition package (PEB)

    utf8.def    2008/04/05 v1.1m UTF-8 support for inputenc
   t1enc.dfu    2008/04/05 v1.1m UTF-8 support for inputenc
  ot1enc.dfu    2008/04/05 v1.1m UTF-8 support for inputenc
  omsenc.dfu    2008/04/05 v1.1m UTF-8 support for inputenc
no-publisher.bbl

The shorted MWE is: 

\listfiles
\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@book{billingsley,
  title     = {Convergence of Probability Measures},
  author    = {P. Billingsley},
  year      = {1968},
  publisher = {Wiley, New York},
}
\end{filecontents*}


\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{memoir}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}

text \cite{billingsley}. 

\bibliographystyle{alpha} % plain
\bibliography{\jobname}

\end{document}

And the result on my system is:
