Short Description: "Thomas Maskew Miller (1863 - 1926) was a South African bookseller and publisher. Miller founded his namesake press in 1893 as a family business after working for Darter Brothers & Walton. He opened offices in Cape Town, Pretoria, and Bulawayo. Initially, he imported books and stationery for sale, but later he began publishing books himself.

The offices in Pretoria and Bulawayo were only active from 1901 to 1914. In 1924, the firm established itself as a limited company, and the printer was named Maskew Miller Beperk. The two printers published 24 children´s books in this era, although they focused mainly on school textbooks. They published children´s poetry, fiction, and short stories along with a series known as Maskew Miller se Afrikaanse Leesboekies." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.05.2020)
