Review: Untold Story of Books

If you are an author trying to navigate the publishing world (particularly as a newbie) give this book a read. The author summarizes book production from scribes writing on parchment until the present day and it is comprehensive...there is a lot here I did not know. (Manuscript piracy, for example, has been a nightmare since day one.) He divides the business into 3 stages, but if you have limited time, skip to the third - modern- stage. All kinds of new and intriguing channels for writers to consider. Highly recommended.
