Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Vol. 28: Issued Bi-Monthly July December, 1906 In the book publishing business, as in all other commercial pursuits, there have appeared men who, with very little education, have become leaders and have amassed considerable fortunes, men who never saw the inside of a college, and who had little schooling. Such men are so gifted that, whatever falls to their lot, they are bound to succeed. What effect a finished education would have had on them and their career is a problem which may be left to conjecture. It is safe to say that men who have risen without an education are by far the exception. And most of them will confess that they would be thankful if they had received the education of their more fortunate associates. There is no "commercial profession" where a finished education is more useful than that of publishing. The very nature of the business, which is practically that of preserving and disseminating knowledge and entertainment, is fascinating to a degree. To feel that an imprint on an important book will pass under the eyes of generations, after monuments have become neglected, is a satisfaction which the publisher of a good book may properly enjoy in prospective. Indeed, the very name and nature of the profession suggest culture, and without an appreciation of the higher ideals of life the publisher lacks an important, if not essential, quality to success. The publishing business is divided into special branches, distinguished broadly by the nature of the books which they individually include. Thus we have medical publishers, technical or scientific publishers, publishers of belles lettres and fiction, and publishers of periodicals. The firm or individual issuing books belonging to all or several of these various classes is known as a general publisher.
