"This is an indispensable and highly-readable study of the publishing industry past, present and future. For students and professionals in publishing it provides an authoritative, up-to-date and reliable account of their complex and rapidly changing industry. For those interested more broadly in the role the creative industries play in the modern world this is a fine introduction. It is to be highly recommended."
- Iain Stevenson, Director, UCL Centre for Publishing

At last, a readable, authoritative and comprehensive book for students, readers and practitioners in print and digital publishing.

The book guides the reader through the history of publishing and the main issues facing the industry today. Among these are:

Legal conundrums
Cultural conflicts
Trade practices
Publishing within and across sectors
Editorial requirements
The challenge of electronic publishing
Making your ideas count in print
Rationalization and the growth of corporate publishing cultures

The result is an exciting one stop guide, written with real flair and aplomb. Packed with helpful real-world examples and illustrative interviews this practical resource leaves no stone of the publishing industry unturned.

Industry Reviews

Written for anyone wishing to learn about the Anglophone publishing industry, this text fills a long-standing gap in the market. It covers each of the publishing functions, as well as the processes associated with creating and disseminating print and digital products... Guthrie's text is an industry overview for professionals, but is scholorly enough to make it an ideal student textbook.
