Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt
Josiah Gilbert Holland was an American author and poet who lived from July 24, 1819, to October 12, 1881. He wrote under the name Timothy Titcomb. He helped start Scribner's Monthly, which later became Century Magazine, and was its editor. His books, Arthur Bonnicastle, The Story of Sevenoaks, and Nicholas Minturn were published in it. "Bitter-Sweet" (1858), "Kathrina," the words to the Methodist song "There's a Song in the Air," and many other poems were written by him. Holland was born on July 24, 1819, in the village of Dwight in Belchertown, Massachusetts. He grew up in a poor family that had a hard time making ends meet. The low-slung family farmhouse in Dwight was his home for only a few years. He joked afterward that he'd like to "burn it to the ground." He was the sixth kid and the youngest of six. His parents were very religious and came from a Puritan family. His father, a failed engineer known as a "migratory ne'er-do-well," moved the family every year or two. They lived in Heath, Belchertown, South Hadley, Granby, and Northampton. Josiah had to work in a plant for a while to help support his family. After that, he went to Northampton (Massachusetts) High School for a short time to study before dropping out because he was sick. After that, he went to Berkshire Medical College to study medicine and graduated in 1844.
