 PROFILE
Publisher of widely used literary anthologies, W.W. Norton is known by students far and wide as a maker of bulky books.

Norton has published the works of authors ranging from Sigmund Freud to Henry David Thoreau. The company also owns book publishers Countryman Press and Liveright, and it serves as a distributor for smaller publishers such as Hatherleigh Press, Newmarket Press, and Thames & Hudson. Owned by its employees, W.W. Norton is the largest independent publishing house in the US.
