Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, xi, 226 pp. "'There will come at least one morning in your life when you wake up and want to kill your agent,' discloses an author. A bookseller declares that 'the efficiency of publishers seems to coincide with the cycles of the moon'. Publishers recount their most dynamic coups. The lost days when reviewing was a serious matter are lamented by a book reviewer. Anthony Blond, publisher and author, explains to a first-time writer why his novel is not at Didcot station, and recommends as an ideal writing place 'a prison cell, a cabin without a porthole on a boat full of bores'. Hard facts and useful information jostle with scurrilous anecdotes and trade secrets to produce this colourful and idiosyncratic view from the front line. No aspect of the business escapes Blond's scrutiny: the literary agent, the writer's alter-ego, battles aggressively when the author is most timid. The editor, with praise and tact, encourages the author to produce the book he meant to write rather than the one he has written. Eternally optimistic, the publisher opens every new manuscript in the excited hope that it contains a masterpiece. The author himself may earn less than a house-painter, but he dreams each night of a best-seller. For the aspiring author the book offers sound advice and plenty of hope. Dotted with stories of authors who did find success, from spare-time scribblers to distinguished literati and blockbusting best-selling authors, the book gives practical suggestions on the presentation and despatch of manuscripts, includes selected lists of agents and publishers to assist the author in choosing a home for his work, and has explanatory chapters on contracts, book production and publicity which will be invaluable to anyone who seeks a better knowledge of the business. Instructive illuminating, controversial, and with lively (at times outrageous) descriptions of figures who inhabit the book world, The Book Book tells the fascinating inside story of Publishing and conveys masterfully the flavour of its volatile, risky yet exhilarating atmosphere." - from the blurb. Near Very Good in a dustwrapper which is sunned around the spine.
