Holt Uncensored :: A Candid Look at Books and the Book Industry : Publishing News : Booksellers : Bookstores : Reviews Interviews

Description

Each year there were fewer.

I began to realize that in the midst of corporate takeovers and commercialism in the book industry, good books were getting lost in the shuffle.

Science books seemed to hit various trends (quantum physics, ecology), almost always to the exclusion of others.
