GLIMPSES OF THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF CORPORATE PUBLISHING IN AMERICA TODAY

What really goes on in the mightiest publishing corporations?

What dark conspiracies are spawned in their sinister board meetings, way up in the high floors of their skyscrapers?

What really goes on behind closed doors, among the power players who shape today's book market?

Some by me, and others reported by reliable sources, friends and friends of friends. No, seriously. Really heard. And the identities of the people mentioned shall be (ever so slightly) concealed.
