Trow's Printing and Bookbinding Company

Trow's Printing and Bookbinding Company was a New York printing firm closely connected with John F. Trow, a printer and publisher whose name became especially well known through city directories. Library of Congress authority records describe the company as Trow's firm and place it at 205–213 East 12th Street in New York, separate from his directory company at 11 University Place.

The company’s name appears on a wide range of 19th-century books, from practical and medical works to fiction and finely produced volumes. Catalog and library records also show related forms of the business name, including Trow's Printing and Bookbinding Co. and Trow Printing and Book Binding Co., which reflects how the imprint appeared across different publications.

Although this is a company rather than a single personal author, it has a distinct place in book history because of its role in producing and preserving printed works from the period. For readers interested in publishing history, the Trow name offers a glimpse into the busy world of New York printing, book production, and directory publishing in the late 1800s.
