Rezensionen
"Each essay represents an interesting contribution to publishing and/or small-press Studies ... . the volume's introduction makes a valiant and broadly successful effort to present the industry status quo, plus an overview of small-press scholarship. It provides a valuable analysis, as will individual essays tied to readers' interests." (Jodie Lea Martire, Publishing Research Quarterly, September 1, 2023)
