5.0 out of 5 stars A Joy to Read, October 1, 2000

By	Dan Poynter "Author-Publisher-Speaker" (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Nat Bodian offers a wealth of entertaining anecdotes about world-renowned literary figures, while taking the reader on a never-to-be-forgotten, behind-the-scenes tour of the world of book publishing. Like an encyclopedia, most sections are less than a page; the author reveals hundreds of little-known book facts. Nat Bodian has spent a lifetime in the publishing trade and he truly loves the business. This fascinating book will edify, entertain and delight every author, publisher, book promoter, bookseller and bibliophile. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com
