An Explanation of all the People Involved in Making a Book

I first heard of this book in an editing class. The author shows you all the different people that are involved in the creation of the book. With each person, he gives you a chapter discussing what he or she does and some of the tools he or she uses to do it. From reading this, I now have a much better understanding of what it takes to put a book into my hands.The book is not immersed in techno-speak that slows down the reading. The flow of words is easy and understandable. I never became lost in the process or found myself going back. It is a solid book.I would recommend this book to all aspiring editors as well as aspiring writers. Once you know what goes into making a book, the cloud of uncertain and fear that comes with publishing will disappear.
