Why it’s Not Time to Compromise
By Steffen • Dec 10th, 2008 • Category: 26th Story, Book News and PublishingIn the midst of publishing mayhem, a 5-page profile of former Grove
publisher Barney Rosset in this week's Newsweek reminds us what book
publishing is all about:
"Rosset wasn't the only publisher who took
risks, but he was one of the most visible and uncompromising. Not
everything he published was high-minded. Some of it aimed below the
belt, and he was uncompromising about that too."
