Where Did The White Circles Come From? Part III

Two of the 40 or so original publishers of the 429 titles in Wm. Collins Sons & Co. Canada Ltd's White Circle imprint were Eyre & Spottiswoode and J. B. Lippincott with three each.

British Eyre & Spottiswoode had its origins in the 18th century as a printer but the publisher name dates from 1929. By the 1970s it was gone. Philadelphia's J. B. Lippincott started in 1836, was sold to Harper and Row in 1978 and subsequently sold, merged and renamed. The first three books below are Eyre & Spottiswoode, the last three J. B. Lippincott.
