Harper and Brothers verses Harper and Row
I have a book called "The Book of Indian Crafts and Indian Lore" by
Julian Harris Salomon. I believe I have tracked it down to a later printing but it was an interesting process. I notice some dealers listing expensive copies as "Harper and Row. 1928." and other dealers listing it as "Harper and Brothers. 1928." There are also other printings of this book listed, up to 25 or so. When did Harper and Brothers change their name to Harper and Row? My copy says, "Harper and Row. 1928" and has no indication that it is a later printing. Some reprints have $4.95 on the dust jacket but I have no dust jacket with this copy. It doesn';t quite look 80 years old, I wonder when the book was actually reprinted. -- Robert Pearson ParaMind Brainstorming Software http://www.paramind.net Telical Books http://www.telicalbooks.com |

Murdoch acquired Harper & Row in 1987 and William Collins & Sons in 1990, and merged them into Harper Collins.
