Cosmopolitan Book Corporation

[edit]

There was a publishing company in New York in the 1920s that was named The Cosmopolitan Book Corporation. I am not sure of exact dates of operation, but I know of at least two books published by this company in the twenties: An Autobiography of Buffalo Bill (1920), and The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge (1929). This disambiguation page should be updated to reflect these facts, and a Wikipedia page should be created for this publisher. If I am able to gather sufficient additional information I will try to follow up on this. CononOfSamos (talk) 04:31, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know much about the corporation, but it does not appear to still be in business. I have a 1920 letter sent to my great grandfather on Cosmopolitan Book Corporation letterhead (119 West Fortieth Street, New York). It has the signature of William Charles Lengel, editor of the company. This information may be of some use to CononOfSamos or others interested in filling out this page on the company more completely.Knitknee1969 (talk) 21:05, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
