The basic business model of the book publishing industry remained largely unchanged between the Great Depression and the turn of the Millennium. Print a lot of books, try to get them reviewed so that stores would stock them on consignment, advertise, then hope that they don’t come back as returns. Small imprints and self-publishers were reduced to begging distributors to accept their titles at discounts of 60% or more, and were expected to accept returns in any condition and quantity.

This series of studies, by experts in the relevant fields, comprehensively and systematically examines British book production and publishing in the hundred years before the introduction of printing. The terms ’book’ and ’publishing’ are usually employed in reference to the products of the printing press.

In 1995, the Master of Publishing program at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, B.C., admitted its first cohort of students to a program that was designed to teach best publishing practices to graduate students and to embark on a program of research that would help transform and modernize publishing. Students and faculty were encouraged to engage in analysis of publishing with the intent of opening practices to a critical gaze. The studies contained in this volume -- 10 of which are written by program graduates and two by faculty members -- explore the dynamics of title acquisition; ex

The bible on self-publishing. Highly recommended by virtually everyone in the industry -- even other authors of books on the subject (many of whom probably followed the advice in Poynter’s previous 11 editions).Dan Poynter’s Self-Publishing Manual, more effectively and successfully than any other book, has turned writers with an idea into successful authors with books by providing solid, usable information in clear, concise, readable language. This is not the stuff of theory, it is the product of hard-earned experience.
