Summary
"This behind-the-scenes exploration of the publishing world depicts every stage in the life of a book. Young readers will learn why an editor's to-do list is so long; what a book designer has to think about; and what a printing press looks like. They'll discover jobs they never knew existed such as literary critics, proofreaders, and publishers' sales representatives. Most of all, they'll realize how the book they are holding in their hands came to be made."-- Page 4 of cover.
