In the company of writers, by Charles Scribner, Jr.

 

I found this book at the Dog's Ear used book store in Hoosick, NY, in the Books about Books section, one of my favorite parts of the store to browse. The author discusses his childhood, education, and career in publishing, leading up to the day when he invites another company to take over Scribner Publishing through a stock swap. It's a charming look at the publishing industry with lots of anecdotes about some of the famous authors that Scribner's published, including Ernest Hemingway. A quick read that give you some insight into how publishing works.
