Summary

That the writing of books is an art practiced without regard for the realities of publishing is a persistent myth. Bruccoli corrects this misapprehension in his detailed account of the economics of authorship, stressing the effects marketing considerations, competing media, financial arrangements between authors and publishers, and the increasingly big business of book publishing have had on the careers of authors and the course of twentieth-century American literature.
