The H. W. Wilson Company is a publisher of reference books, specializing in indexing, and based in the Bronx, New York. Halsey William Wilson founded the company in 1898 to publish the Cumulative Book Index, a sort of predecessor to the modern Books in Print. Their Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature, started in 1901, is a staple of libraries to this day. Also, with each subsequent edition released since the first in 1933, Joseph Nathan Kane's Famous First Facts (ISBN 0824209303), now in its fifth edition, remains H.W. Wilson's largest selling single volume reference work.
