4.0 out of 5 stars An in-depth look into the publishing industry., 15 Jan 2002
By Mr. J. Ward "gingenie" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Giles Clark's book is something of a bible to those of us on the publishing course here at Brookes, exhaustive in its coverage of all aspects of contemporary publishing. Where Clark fails to impress, however, is in his very dense prose style, the book is very hard going through out.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Essential Reading Tool, 21 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Giles Clark's new edition of Inside Book Publishing has been fully updated and rewritten. It is an essential tool for anyone embarking on a career within book publishing, and a useful handbook for those who are already working in the industry but feel they may be lacking in knowledge. Well researched and well written, a pleasure to read and recommend to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough and comprehensive
I must declare my interest - I was part of the (UK) Society of Young Publishers committee which started this ball rolling back in 1979. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reading
Very informative publication though I agree with Mr J. Ward's remark about Clark's writing style. I too found it quite difficult to read for that particular reason!
