我们中的许多人每天都读书，无论是电子版还是印刷版。我们记得儿时塑造我们对世界看法的书，年复一年地回到最喜欢的书，把书送给或借给所爱的人和朋友，分享我们特别喜欢的故事，并在读书俱乐部和在线社区与其他读者讨论重要的书。但是，尽管书籍影响我们、教导我们、挑战我们、联系我们，但我们中的许多人对它们的来源以及神秘的出版世界是如何真正运作的仍然一无所知。书籍是如何创造的，它们是如何接触读者的？
《图书业：每个人都需要知道的东西》将行业外的人介绍给图书出版界。Mike Shatzkin和Robert Paris Riger以通俗易懂的问答形式对该行业进行了简明扼要、深入的调查，涵盖了从二十世纪早期现代图书出版的开始，到目前人们对印刷、数字阅读和亚马逊崛起的担忧等方方面面。作者是“贸易出版”的老手，或是通过图书馆或书店将书籍交给我们的业务分支，他们回答从基础到前沿的问题，为好奇的初学者和局外人提供指导。
The Book Business: What Everyone Needs to Know (Audiobook)
Many of us read books every day, either electronically or in print. We remember the books that shaped our ideas about the world as children, go back to favorite books year after year, give or lend books to loved ones and friends to share the stories we’ve loved especially, and discuss important books with fellow readers in book clubs and online communities. But for all the ways books influence us, teach us, challenge us, and connect us, many of us remain in the dark as to where they come from and how the mysterious world of publishing truly works. How are books created and how do they get to readers?
The Book Business: What Everyone Needs to Know introduces those outside the industry to the world of book publishing. Covering everything from the beginnings of modern book publishing early in the twentieth century to the current concerns over the alleged death of print, digital reading, and the rise of Amazon, Mike Shatzkin and Robert Paris Riger provide a succinct and insightful survey of the industry in an accessible question-and-answer format. The authors, veterans of “trade publishing,” or the branch of the business that puts books in our hands through libraries or bookstores, answer questions from the basic to the cutting-edge, providing a guide for curious beginners and outsiders.
