| Abstract: |
The records of book publishers Dodd, Mead & Company consist of the administrative,
financial, publicity, and publication records of the organization, with some family
photographs and biographical material. The collection is especially rich in author
contract summaries, profit/loss calculations for individual titles, printing histories
and inventories of titles, and book catalogues. Although books in the collection extend
back to 1720 and through the 1800s, the bulk of the collection are business records
and these date primarily from the 1890s and into the 1970s, with a few earlier and
later.
