Lamplighter Publishing

Lamplighter Publishers are my personal favorite when it comes to publishers.  They are very selective about the books they publish, and although their books are a bit pricy, I've never regretted any of the hundreds of dollars I've spent on dozens of their books over the years.  They specialize in re-publishing VERY old literature - the kind that "they don't make like they used to!!!"
