What the American Book Company Is A Fact Check
The American Book Company is not a trust or monopoly. It cites competition, lack of price fixing, and independence, noting formation in 1890, expansion through acquisitions, and charter change to New York in 1907. It claims no alliances with publishers to restrain trade and asserts anti trust compliance.
American Book Company Defends Against Trust Allegations
The document argues that textbook ownership changes are common, rejects the label of a trust, and details rival publishers’ acquisitions. It cites Texas accusations against the company, offers full cooperation for investigation, and asserts intention to prove no restraint on competition. The piece frames the dispute as a test of fair dealing among publishers and educators.
