{"product_id":"truth-about-a-publisher","title":"Truth About a Publisher","description":"\u003cp\u003eSir Stanley Unwin's best-known book was \u003cb\u003eThe Truth About Publishing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e It was first published in 1926 and held sway as a sort of vade-mecum of the trade for decades afterwards. However as Sir Stanley admits in his preface to this book, inspired by Arnold Bennett's \u003cb\u003eTruth About an Author\u003c\/b\u003e, the book he first wanted to write was \u003cb\u003eThe Truth About a Publisher\u003c\/b\u003e. In the end that had to wait, not being finally published until 1960. As the title suggests this is the autobiographical companion to the earlier work. It is a full and successful story: from the creation of George Allen and Unwin ('my life work' as Sir Stanley describes it) to his crucial work for the Publishers Association, the International Publishers Association and the British Council. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is full of fascinating stories of authors, publishers and books in the first half of the twentieth-century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54243555246424,"sku":"9780571247820","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780571247820.jpg?v=1777705212","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/truth-about-a-publisher","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
