Nesmith.The Harper Establishment is the unique story of book publishing at the Harper Publishing Company of New York City. The reader is treated to a virtual tour of a mid-nineteenth century American publisher, department by department. From the time a manuscript arrives at Harper's, through its editing department, typesetting department, and printing department, every facet of Harper's publishing program is described in detail. Includes a section on marbling. This work is a fascinating read for anyone interested in publishing history.
