It was “the golden age” of American literature. Max Perkins edited Hemingway and Fitzgerald, royalties were still calculated by hand, and business was usually based on personal ties between publisher and author. It was into this world that Charles Scribner, Jr. was born, his career predetermined at the time of his christening. He grew up in publishing and cut his editorial teeth on giants like Edmund Wilson, C.P. Snow, P.D. James and Charles Lindbergh. But towering above them all was Ernest Hemingway, whose friendship Scribner recalls with affection. “An elegant memoir of a publishing prince’s lifelong devotion to great books.” —A.Scott Berg

Scribner1s lively and informal memoir of a life spent among writers. He provides an intimate view of a family -- and a family business -- devoted to books and to the characters who produced them: Scott Fitzgerald, Thomas Wolfe, Edmund Wilson, P.D. James, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, James Jones, and Ernest Hemingway. In that era, business was based on close, sometimes stormy, ties between publisher and author. Scribner headed Scribners from 1952 to 1986, and was less interested in preserving traditions than in exploring new intellectual domains, such as through a new kind of reference book publishing, beginning with the monumental Dictionary of Scientific Biography.

Why are you attracted to a certain "type?" Why are you a morning person? Why do you vote the way you do? From a witty new voice in popular science comes a clever, life-changing look at what makes you you. "I can't believe I just said that." "What possessed me to do that?" "What's wrong with me?" We're constantly seeking answers to these fundamental human questions, and now, science has the answers. The foods we enjoy, the people we love, the emotions we feel, and the beliefs we hold can all be traced back to our DNA, germs, and environment. This witty, colloquial book is popular science at its best, describing in everyday language how genetics, epigenetics, microbiology, and psychology work together to influence our personality and actions. Mixing cutting-edge research and relatable humor, Pleased to Meet Me is filled with fascinating insights that shine a light on who we really are--and how we might become our best selves.

A New York Times Notable Book: This memoir of a career in book publishing “should please anyone who cares about twentieth-century literature” (The Washington Post Book World). For nearly five decades, Diana Athill edited (nursed, coerced, coaxed) some of the most celebrated writers in the English language, among them V. S. Naipaul, Philip Roth, John Updike, Jean Rhys, Mordecai Richler, Molly Keane, and Norman Mailer. A founding editor of the prestigious publishing house André Deutsch Ltd., Athill takes us on a guided tour through the corridors of literary London, offering a keenly observed, devilishly funny, and always compassionate insider’s portrait of the glories and pitfalls of making books—spiced with candid insights about the type of people who make brilliant writers and ingenious publishers, and the idiosyncrasies of both. It is both “wryly humorous” (The New York Times Book Review) and “full of history, wisdom, and dirt” (The Boston Globe). “This is not literary life as we know it today—huge advances, showbiz and vast conglomerates—but the world of small literary houses . . . An enveloping blast of nostalgia: read and marvel at what we (all of us) are missing.” —Marie Claire “A beautifully written, hard-headed, and generally insightful look back at the heyday of post-war London publishing by a woman who was at its center for nearly half a century.” —The Washington Times “Witty and astute . . . The literarily curious will find [her] portraits of leading contemporary authors irresistible.” —Publishers Weekly

Biografie van een uitgeverij / Biography of a Publishing House. Stefan & Franciszka Themerson & Gaberbocchus' presents the exceptional qualities of Stefan and Franciszka Themerson's Gaberbocchus Press.0The Themersons, a Polish-born, British couple, combined the disciplines of philosopher, writer, painter, illustrator, graphic designer, film-maker and publisher, produced publications that are remarkable in every sense of the word. 'There is a madness about various Gaberbocchus books which is the spice of life, an ingredient somewhat lacking in the world of impeccable book production', wrote a critic in 1956. 'Not best-sellers, but best-lookers' was how Stefan and Franciszka Themerson formulated the intention underlying their books. All of them are based on three significant characteristics: improvised techniques and materials, experiment with word and image and the imaginative interpretation of their content.00With this biography of Gaberbocchus Press, translator Walter van der Star and graphic designer Piet Gerards (here in co-operation with Stephan de Smet) have fulfilled a long-standing ambition of the publishing house, Huis Clos. Sixty titles published between 1948 and 1979 are described. Every title is included, but we have chosen to concentrate our selection on the most defining and visually striking books, paying particular attention to the engagement of form with content. A special section is devoted to the links of Gaberbocchus Press with the Netherlands. The Themersons corresponded and in some cases maintained close ties with, among others: Jaco Groot, W.F. Hermans, Nicolaas Matsier, Erik van Zuylen, K. Schippers and Rudy Kousbroek.0Jasia Reichardt and Nick Wadley, who have preserved the legacy of the Themersons for posterity in such an exemplary manner, each contributed an important article.

The captivating story of the famed publisher George Weidenfeld, from his struggles as an Austrian-Jewish refugee in London to his rise as a world-renowned literary figure. After arriving in London just before World War Two as a penniless Austrian-Jewish refugee, George Weidenfeld went on to transform not only the world of publishing but the culture of ideas. The books that he published include momentous titles such as Lolita, Double Helix, The Group, and The Hedgehog and the Fox, with authors he championed ranging from Joan Didion, Mary McCarthy, JD Salinger, and Edna O’Brien to Henry Miller, Harold Wilson, Saul Bellow, and Henry Kissinger. His role as publisher brought him into the orbit of influential figures such as George Bush, Ann Getty, Donald Trump, and LBJ. In this first biography, Thomas Harding provides a full, unvarnished, and at times difficult history of this complex and fascinating character. Throughout his long career, he was written about in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time Magazine, Vanity Fair, and other publications. Was he, as described by some, the “greatest salesperson,” “the world’s best networker,” “the publisher’s publisher,” and “a great intellectual”? Was his lifelong effort to be the world’s most famous host a cover for his desperate loneliness? Who, in fact, was the real George Weidenfeld and how did he rise so successfully within the ranks of New York and London society? Drawing on author correspondence, internal memos, and other documents buried deep in the secret publishing files of Weidenfeld & Nicolson, Harding crafts a portrait of the publisher's life that is inextricable from the efforts and intricacies of putting a book into the world. Structured around twenty books associated with George Weidenfeld, and intercut with explorations of contemporary concerns such as cancel culture, the right to publish, freedom of speech, and separating the art from the artist, The Maverick tells the captivating story behind the life of this iconic publisher.
