Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Where is it?
Review: For the past 2-1/2 years, I have seen this book's publication date set back season after season.

Where is it? Why the constant pushing back of publication date?

The third edition is sorely needed. The second edition is more than twenty years old, and the entire pre-press section is thoroughly outdated and worthless.

Norton, get your act together!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: New Edition of a Classic
Review: One of the best texts on the production of books is "Bookmaking" by Marshall Lee. The second edition is more than twenty years old, but the third edition was just published. It covers virtually all topics, from word-processing to book printing, and everything in between. Most importantly, it shows how the computer has changed the publishing world. 

NOTE: Don't pay attention to "A Reader"'s review -- "Reader" is criticizing the publisher, W. W. Norton, for taking so long to print Lee's book. It's like criticizing Tiger Woods because the golf course is closed.
