Previous books include The Content Machine and Curation: The Power of Selection in a World of Excess.a timely and unique collection of essays which successfully surveys the current diverse world of publishing… The contributors are an impressive line-up of researchers, academics, librarians and those with considerable experience in editing and publishing from the UK, Europe and the USA. It is a reliable reference book of depth and density... I consider The Oxford Handbook of Publishing critical for those studying any aspect of the publishing industry formally, as it fully summarises the state of knowledge in the field and gives thorough treatment to the transformational impact of digital publishing and other future options. It is also very useful for those interested in publishing, literature and the business of media, entertainment, culture, communication and information.

Overall, though, the near-impossible effort to summarize the state of publishing in an almost 500-page handbook was successful, and it is certain that this volume will find many readers across disciplines such as literary studies, book studies and media studies over the coming years
