Originated from The Thomas Register of American Manufacturers, known as the "big green books" and "Thomas Registry", was in its heyday, a 34-volume, 3 section buying guide offering instant sourcing information on industrial products and services, along with comprehensive specifications and detailed product information from thousands of manufacturers. First published in 1898 as a single volume by Harvey Mark Thomas as Hardware and Kindred Trades, it grew to be known as “the purchasing bible” and “the bible of industry” by industrial professionals across North America and around the world. Its 100th and final edition was published in 2006. Today, Thomas Register is the proprietary database powering the foundation of ThomasNet.com.
