This review is from: The Company You Keep: A Publisher's Memoir (Hardcover)
Ken Wilder was one of the leading book publishers in Australia until his retirement in 1984. His memoir, The Company You Keep is the only published record of the book publishing industry in Australia, which in the post Second World War years grew from a small activity, dominated by British interests, to the thriving, creative source of original writing that it has now become. Ken Wilder's book is full of anecdotes of a life with books and writers and artists, many of whom have made an impact on the entire English speaking world. Essential reading for all who care about books and literature. Ken Wilder also recounts his part in the long and bitter struggle against Rupert Murdoch's takeover of William Collins, then the largest general book publisher in Britain and the British Commonwealth.
