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.

Excerpt from Report of the Commissioner of the Interior for Porto Rico: To the Secretary of the Interior, U. S. A., 1902 The report of the chief of the bureau of insular telegraph Ixhibit D) presents an interesting account of the development of that system from the date of its taking over from the United States Signal Corps, as noted in my last report, to the present time. The legislative assem bly made liberal provision for extension of the lines, in the belief, evidently, that the commercial prospects of the island would warrant the outlay, and the growth of business, as shown by the statement of receipts and expenditures accompanying the report, is substantial proof of the wisdom of the course.

Excerpt from Report of the Commissioner of Education for Porto Rico to the Secretary of the Interior, U. S. A., 1901 Under the same law these American teachers are to be given living quarters or an allowance in cash for such quarters at the expense of the local board. In many cases this has not been done. Contracts were made, but the rent was unpaid, and the teacher was obliged to pay from her salary the rent or leave the rooms. The department has almost daily complaint of nu aid allowances to American teachers. Under the present school law t is is wholly changed. This condition will now be greatly improved. The salary is increased to $50 per month and the house rent guaranteed by law will now be paid promptly. But more important than this is the fact that the American teacher is now welcomed throughout the island and in many instances prominent citizens have offered a home free to the American teacher in order to have the influence of such a teacher in the community.
