A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“A brief, incisive social history of post-war publishing in America ... a riveting chronicle of the rise and fall of the American reader.”—Village Voice

“An absorbing account of the revolution in publishing during the last decade.”—Financial Times

“Impassioned ... a fascinating account of the post-World War II publishing scene.”—USA Today

“Newsworthy and important ... eloquent and anguished ... impassioned and filled with righteous, if quiet, indignation ... smart, thoughtful and well-presented, News told truthfully and with loving care can always bring some hope.”—The Nation

“Schiffrin takes apart the publishing industry in a detached, careful manner, as if deboning a trout. He is impressively thorough and logical.”—Rocky Mountain News
