W H Freeman & Worth Publishing Group

What kinds of stories still need the hefty weight of a publisher’s desk behind them? W H Freeman & Worth Publishing Group keeps the old-school imprint alive—editing, designing, printing—all in the same building. The company’s footprint stretches across educational texts and scholarly works; they shape monographs, journals, and reference volumes under multiple imprints. You’ll also find they handle bulk print runs and custom textbook packages for instructors. The front door sits at 120 Broadway in Lower Manhattan—less than a block from the courthouse steps and the Financial District’s pulse. That crossroads of old-school finance and new-school tech means the mailroom sees everything from hardcover proofs to overnight galleys. A few floors up, editors and designers trade manuscripts in progress; down the hall, accounting reconciles royalties against print orders. Need to speak with someone in acquisitions or production? Ring (212) 576-9400 and route your call straight to the right extension. Want to drop by in person? Their map pin is easy to find: directions are here. The cast-iron facades across the street catch the late-afternoon light—another reason the block still reads like a proper New York postcard.
