History
History
The firm was most active in the 1960s and 1970s, when it was located in New York City. By 1986, the firm had moved to Fairfield, New Jersey, where it appears to have remained. In the 1960s and 1970s, Augustus M. Kelley was the American publisher for books brought out in Great Britain by David & Charles. David & Charles took out advertisements on the back page of The Railway Magazine; the first of these to mention Augustus M. Kelley was the September 1968 issue. That advertisement announced: "In America almost all D&C railway, canal and industrial archaeology titles are published by Augustus M. Kelley Publishers, 24 East 22nd Street, New York, NY 10010".
