W.B. Saunders
In 1888 in the shadow of Philadelphia's Independence Hall, Walter Burns Saunders founded a tiny

To meet this daring challenge, Saunders zealously followed three demanding principles. He insisted that books be authored by leaders and authorities in the field. Furthermore, they must be produced to the highest standards of the book crafter's art. Finally, Saunders was committed to placing these texts in the hands of the healers as soon as possible.
These tenets have served the company — and the medical community of the world — well. Since its founding, W.B. Saunders Company has successfully kept pace with science, always
supplying health professionals with the finest, most up-to-date tools of knowledge.
