a timely and unique collection of essays which successfully surveys the current diverse world of publishing… The contributors are an impressive line-up of researchers, academics, librarians and those with considerable experience in editing and publishing from the UK, Europe and the USA. It is a reliable reference book of depth and density... I consider The Oxford Handbook of Publishing critical for those studying any aspect of the publishing industry formally, as it fully summarises the state of knowledge in the field and gives thorough treatment to the transformational impact of digital publishing and other future options. It is also very useful for those interested in publishing, literature and the business of media, entertainment, culture, communication and information. * Pauline McGonagle, CIEP Book Reviews * Overall, though, the near-impossible effort to summarize the state of publishing in an almost 500-page handbook was successful, and it is certain that this volume will find many readers across disciplines such as literary studies, book studies and media studies over the coming years * Corinna Norrick-Rühl, Sharp News * The book's contributors include many leading figures in the field, who together provide a strong overview . . . there are plenty of striking nuggets of information to be found * Peter Straus, literary agent and Managing Director of Rogers, Coleridge & White, TLS * The near-impossible effort to summarize the state of publishing in an almost 500-page handbook was successful, and it is certain that this volume will find many readers across disciplines such as literary studies, book studies and media studies over the coming years * Corinna Norrick-Rühl, SHARP News * a grand collection of articles on a very broad range of topics * Thad McIlroy, Publishers Weekly *
