This volume offers 24 chapters from an assortment of heavyweights of the book trade who discuss all facets of the literary publishing house. Included is an interview with New Directions' founder James Laughlin, John Farrar's letter to an unpublished writer, Scribner's legendary editor Max Perkins's memoir of publishing Thomas Wolfe, and much more. It still holds true that "most libraries should own this book" (LJ 3/15/80).
