"It is by books that mind speaks to mind, by books the world's intelligence grows, books are the tree of knowledge." -C. Kegan Paul, a British nineteenth century publisher The Truth About Publishing (1926) by Sir Stanley Unwin is a classic about book publishing as a business and an art. Although written during early twentieth century, when publishing was quite different from now, it offers an insight in publishing at that time infused with Unwin's view that books are not mere commodities. In Unwin's words, his objective was not to teach publishing, but to give information to those outside the business, particularly to all devoted to literature, whether writers or readers. This book offers an engaging glimpse into publishing for students of history, publishers and others interested in the world of publishing.
