In both parts of the book, the lengthy articles are signed, and many of the authors are well known in the field (John Dessauer, Bernie Rath, John Tebbel, Nat Bodian). Most close with notes and/or a select bibliography. Statistical tables appear in such entries as Book Marketing in the United States and Mergers and Acquisitions. Appendixes include tables of world book production, production by language, children's-book production, and school-textbook production for 1970^-90. A detailed index concludes the book.
It's ironic that so little has been published in book form about book publishing. This fascinating overview of the industry will be of interest to librarians and other book people. Sandy Whiteley
