Förlagets beskrivning
The behind-the-scenes, definitive guide to the creation of books.
From the initial idea to the bound edition on bookstore shelves to the digital future, How a Book Is Made not only covers every step involved in bookmaking, but also tells the insider details from the people involved. Whether you're a burgeoning writer, you're interested in a career in publishing or you simply love books, this guide allows you to experience firsthand the process of creating and publishing a book.
Follow the book through:
--The author
--Sales meetings
--The editors
--Media appearances
--Book design
--The bookstores
Through interviews with the people who write, design, produce, print, market and sell the books, as well as dozens of photographs illuminating the process, this volume demystifies bookmaking and explains who does what and when. This book is the definitive look at the inner workings of the publishing industry, and will be a "must-have" for students in publishing curriculums, first time authors, potential self-publishers or anyone else who wants to have a better understanding of this changing industry.

--Sit in on a launch meeting (in fact, the launch meeting for How a Book Is Made)
--Watch as decisions are made in an acquisitions meeting
--See how the book is printed and bound
--Watch authors rehearse media appearances with the publicity staff, then see the publicists book appearances for the authors
--Accompany a sales representative as he visits a bookstore buyer
--Hear noted writers' thoughts on the rewards of authorship
