The Time of Their Lives: The Golden Age of Great American Book Publishers, Their Editors and Authors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The author has had a long and distinguished career in American publishing, including being president of the Book-of-the-Month Club and an editor, and seems to know personally about everybody engaged in American publishing between 1946 and the early 1980's. It is his contention that the post-war period until the early 1980's was at least as much a golden age of publishing as were the 1920's and 1930's with figures such as the legendary Max Perkins. Whether or not one agrees entirely with this assertion, the book does focus upon an extremely fascinating period and group of folks. The author simply went out and interviewed 120 "eyewitnesses" who had been engaged in publishing during this period at a variety of publishers: Knopf, Atheneum, Viking, Doubleday, Harper, and Little Brown to name just a few are discussed in individual chapters. The major paperback houses also are included. Because the author was interviewing his "own", he is just wonderful at filling out his pictures of what publishing was and how it operated during this period with insiders' perspectives. My only problem with the book, which despite its nearly 500 page length moves quickly, is that it is hard to keep all the large cast of characters and companies straight as you pass through the chapters. I also longed for a bit more of an explanation of exactly how editors "edit." His portraits of some key players, such as Alfred A. Knopf, Robert Gottlieb, and George Braziller, add enormously to the richness of the narrative. A small bibliography and some interesting photographs are included, as well as a solid index. A valuable book that is also quite interesting to read.

Business Accounting is the world's best-selling textbook on bookkeeping and accounting. Its clear explanations, in simple language, a wealth of worked examples and large number of questions and answers, have made it a popular choice with both students and lecturers for over thirty years. Other popular features are its comprehensiveness, the clarity of presentation and layout and the structured manner in which it builds knowledge in logically progressing short chapters. In this edition the distribution of chapters between the two volumes has been rationalised. Volume 1 now includes more-complete coverage of special accounting procedures and partnerships. Chapters on partnership dissolution, joint venture accounts, bills of exchange, and consignment accounts, have been incorporated from Volume 2. A selection of recent questions from examining boards and professional bodies has been included.
