"A second revised edition of a classic guide to publishing (though now inevitably very much dated), which describes each part of the process clearly and simply. Covers editorial preparation, production, promotion and distribution, as well as the publisher's relationship with authors, printers, booksellers, librarians and educators. Gives special attention to the problems of publishing in developing countries, and an African edition was published by the University of Lagos Press in 1990." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 2485)
