Copeland & Day was an American book publishing firm of the late 19th century.

History[]

F. Holland Day co-founded and self-financed the firm with Herbert Copeland in 1893. Copeland & Day had its first bestseller the following year, when it published the first edition of Songs from Vagabondia by Bliss Carman and Richard Hovey. The firm was influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and William Morris's Kelmscott Press.

From 1893 through 1899 Copeland & Day published about a hundred titles. It was the American publisher of Oscar Wilde's Salomé, illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley; The Yellow Book periodical, also illustrated by Beardsley; and The Black Riders and Other Lines by Stephen Crane.

Copeland & Day was acquired by Small, Maynard & Company in 1899.
