1.0 out of 5 stars
horrible writing,
This review is from: The Book Publishing Industry, Second Edition (Paperback)
The good thing about the book is its abundant information (more than you need, actually). However, the writing is horrible! I can't imagine how a person--a college professor in this case--can come up with such a poor job despite a very clear-cut framework. Redundant and illogical paragraphs are no surprise in this book. The first edition is bad, but believe me, the second one is even worse! Also, be fully prepared for loads of typographical errors and the mix-up of figures.

THE BUSINESS SIDE OF PUBLISHING,
By A Customer
This review is from: Book Publishing Industry, The: (Part of the Allyn & Bacon Series in Mass Communication) (Paperback)
I am a college writing teacher and The Book Publishing Industry is used as a textbook in my classes. It's somewhat like a book for business school, and can be factual to an extreme, but it gives an excellent view of the financial underpinnings of this huge industry.

This review is from: Book Publishing Industry, The: (Part of the Allyn & Bacon Series in Mass Communication) (Paperback)
This is not an easy read. Extremely informative, maybe too informative. But it will direct you to ALL that you may need to know and what to research when it comes down to book publishing. I kinda treat it like a reference/workbook. but it is very challenging to just sit and read..
