I recently came across a few books in Greek published in the USA before 1920
Not in great physical condition, but not very commonly found, either.
As well as the pharmaceutical text I just posted, there was this popular novel :
==========================
Athēnaios, Aimilios (Alexandre Bisson)
Hē agnōstos : mega koinōnikon mythistorēma ek tou hopoiou exēchthē
to drama "Hē agnōstos," to epi duo etē thriamveutikōs paichthen eis hola
ta theatra tou kosmou
En Nea Hyorkē : Ekdotikos Oikos "Proskopos,", 1919.
165-171 East 72nd St . New York
608p. Illus. $80.00
Novel in Greek based on the play "La Femme X" by Alexandre Bisson
(The play was first produced in 1910, and has frequently been revived
since on stage, on screen or on TV - the latest time in Chicago in 2006!
see :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Bisson)
This copy has shabby, worn red cloth covers, almost detached
at the rear. The statement "Bibliopoleion "Atlas" New York City"
is marked on the front cover.
The title page is missing, pages loose, and the last 2 pages are
detached, but all 608 text pages are present,with no marks or writing
to mar them. There are a number of rather melodramatic illustrations
throughout the text, not well reproduced ( but these may have been
reprinted, I suppose, from plates or stereotype sent from Greece.)
Not greatly significant, except as an example of the type of
popular culture available to American Greeks 1900-1920
in their own language.
Book is listed on OCLC : 39447231
with 2 copies listed - at Princeton and in NYPL
PS : There an entry in OCLC for a later version in 1935 :
Hē agnōstos : drama eis praxeis hex
by Stephanos Charalampidēs; Alexandre Bisson
Type: Book
Language: Greek, Modern [1453- ]
Publisher: Nea Yorkē : [s.n.], 1935.
OCLC: 40696074
