The International Textbook Company was a book publisher in Scranton, PA in the early 1900s. The company published a number of textbooks, most notably the International Library of Technology volumes that provided technical instruction on topics ranging from masonry to hydrostatics. They published nearly 1000 titles from 1902 to 1969. Many of ITC's books were compilations of subjects taught through their International Correspondence Schools.
