Inside Book Publishing (Career Builders Guides)


Giles Clark
Routledge

Thorough guide produced essentially for people interested in a career in publishing, which gives the reader a great deal of useful information about how publishing works from a UK perspective.

A good general guide to publishing, focusing on the UK scene but relevant internationally. Covers the whole field in a thorough, fairly demanding but quite comprehensible way. Our reviewer said: 'Inside Book Publishing provides an excellent introduction to anyone with a professional interest in publishing. It is the most clear and specific guide to publishing I have ever read.'
