Reseña del editor

Excerpt from A Practical Guide for Authors: In Their Relations With Publishers and Printers

The index to this book contains a reference to each of those questions and difficulties which may arise during negotiations for the sale of a manuscript to a publisher, or in the relations which exist between a publisher and an author after a work has been accepted, and while it is being printed and published.

A publisher cannot afford to let a valuable manuscript slip through his hands without good reason. He is as eager to find a manuscript acceptable as the author is to have it accepted. The prosperity of the publisher is inseparable from the prosperity of the author. Authors may therefore rest assured that their work will be carefully read, whether the directions in this book are observed or not. If they are followed, however, both author and publisher will be saved much time, money, and effort.
