Few books make such a mark as this one has on me. Admittedly I have a special interest in the subject but anyone who wants to know about where their books come from or how the industry works will find it a riveting read. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
For the autobiography of one publisher, try [[So Much To Tell by Valerie Grove]]. It's something a little different, but if this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[Culture of Fear: Risk-taking and the Morality of Low Expectation by Frank Furedi]].
