"Copyright 1921 by Italian Book Co. "SOCIETA LIBRARIA ITALIANA" 145-147 Mulberry St.-New York Concessionaria esclusiva per gli Stati [sic] d'America e Canada." The actual publisher was the Neapolitan one noted above. But this sort of importing arrangement served the IBC well: it imported many more works from Italy than it published from new sources in America, although it published more of these latter category than any other of the Italian-language publishers in the U.S.

This diversification, i.e., imported plus home-grown works, included Italian and English dictionaries and grammars (sometimes a purportedly only English grammar actually served to teach Italian) that went through multiple editions over many years. This practice probably contributed to the longevity of this publisher, which exceeded that of any of the other Italian-language publishers.
