Over the years, Wiley has weathered boom and bust alike. While the 1920s U.S. economy roared and the 1930s economy went bust, it had little impact on Wiley or the growing demand for useful knowledge. Wiley first posted $1 million in sales in the year of the Great Crash, $2 million by the time of Pearl Harbor, and over $5 million by the time the GIs came home and—courtesy of Uncle Sam—headed off to college, where they read our textbooks.
