| Sumario: | The article presents the publisher's complaint on his knowledge about the literary buyers. Literature has always had a shaky reputation among publishers. Despite the computer revolution, despite advances in automation and printing that make their work far less laborious than it was only a few years ago, despite the ability to sell books on the Internet, publishers today have become complaining and defensive. Implicit in their attitudes is a tangled skein of rationalizing, lost ideals and concerns over the real, current pressures in their industry. |
