Book club edition. Business type from Garment District becomes involved with failing publishing firm, solves cash-flow problems (for ex., by starting a series of classics, whose authors no longer collect royalties) and other difficulties, turns things around, not necessarily by strictly ethical methods. Then comes the takeover. A hard-nosed, unglamorous depiction of publishing in an era of transition which does not romanticize the good old days either. Bookplate. Light wear on dust jacket.
