Anyone know about Baker and Scribner, New York, in 1848?
I have a book here called, "The Peep of Day: or a Series of the
Earliest Religious Instruction the Infant Mind is Capable of Receiving" It is published Baker and Scribner, of New York, in 1848. Seems like this is a very early manifestation of two of the biggest modern book houses/distributors, Baker and Taylor and Scribners. Does anyone know the history of this company and how it morphed into two different institutions? -- Robert Pearson ParaMind Brainstorming Software http://www.paramind.net Telical Books http://www.telicalbooks.com |

Baker and Taylor seems to be unrelated. -- Francis A. Miniter Oscuramente libros, laminas, llaves siguen mi suerte. Jorge Luis Borges, La Cifra Haiku, 6 |

Thanks. This question got me to finally break open my
Isiah Thomas "The History of Printing in America" in two volumes. Turns out, it covers mostly before the 19th Century, so most of the interesting 19th Century books I've been buying aren't really described -- Robert Pearson ParaMind Brainstorming Software http://www.paramind.net Telical Books http://www.telicalbooks.com |

Yes, it is fiction, but it gives you a lot of good information about Ticknor & Fields in the 1860s. -- Francis A. Miniter Oscuramente libros, laminas, llaves siguen mi suerte.
