-Publishing as a Vocation is engrossing. While each was written sui generis, together they constitute a set of snapshots of the revolutionary communication situation we face today.-
--Howard Schneiderman, (Anthropology & Sociology) Lafayette College
-Publishing as a Vocation is Olympian, but at the same time a down and dirty view on publishing. The last chapter with its case studies was a brilliant way to bring it all to closure.-
--Ray C. Rist, (Knowledge & Evaluation) The World Bank
-Publishing as a Vocation is illuminating and thorough in its details. It presents publishing matters like a mathematical theory, with hypothesis, thesis and demonstration.-
--Lalo Schifrin, (Composer and Conductor) Beverly Hills, California.
-Publishing as Vocation is most impressive in bridging with incisive analysis the ancient craft of publishing and the modern world of digital production. It is a marvelous job of combining moral exhortation and the discipline of economic reality.-
--James E. Katz, School of Communication and Information, Rutgers University
-[A] lucid and penetrating analysis of what is happening in the publishing world, especially in the United States of course, but aslso--by ricochet--in Europe.-
--John Taylor, author of the series Paths to Contemporary French Literature
-I Feel compelled to write you to remark upon, first the extraordinary value I believe this book offers those entering and neophytes in t he modern publishing world. In this period of such radical technological change - and very possibly modifications of editorial standards and content - the words of an old and successful hand can only be of immense use as they seek to make t heir way in a sea of uncertainty.-
