I have a book here called, "The Peep of Day: or a Series of the
Earliest Religious Instruction the Infant Mind is Capable of
Receiving" It is published Baker and Scribner, of New York, in 1848.
Seems like this is a very early manifestation of two of the biggest
modern book houses/distributors, Baker and Taylor and Scribners. Does
anyone know the history of this company and how it morphed into two
different institutions?

See http://www.sc.edu/fitzgerald/scribner.html for a history
of the Scribner House, which began as Baker and Scribner.
Baker and Taylor seems to be unrelated.

Thanks. This question got me to finally break open my
Isiah Thomas "The History of Printing in America" in
two volumes. Turns out, it covers mostly before the 19th
Century, so most of the interesting 19th Century books
I've been buying aren't really described

You might enjoy reading David Pearl's *The Dante Club*.
Yes, it is fiction, but it gives you a lot of good
information about Ticknor & Fields in the 1860s.
