D. Appleton & Co.

D. Appleton & Co. was an American publishing company founded by Daniel Appleton (1785-1849) who opened a general store which included books. He published his first book in 1831. The company's publications gradually extended over the entire field of literature.

In 1880 the company co-founded the American Book Company. In 1933, it merges with The Century Company to form the Appleton-Century Company and in 1948 with F. S. Crofts Co. to form Appleton-Century-Crofts. The company was sold in 1960 to Meredith Publishing Company.
