Our member Lissa Paul has just published a book with Routledge: The Children’s Book Business: Lessons from the Long Eighteenth Century. The book explores the trade practices of early publishers for children, and shows how they anticipated contemporary publishing practices such as product placement and tie-ins. To order this book go to the Routledge website.
