Publishing Timeline 2000

Summary: What a great book!
Review: Sasso's Publishing Timeline 2000 is a remarkably comprehensive look at the graphic arts industry. I've been in publishing for over 20 years and was amazed at the breadth of information included in this book. There are thousands of publishing milestones presented in chronological order--not to mention the beautiful full-color artwork. In addition, the CD-ROM version is a great way to search for a specific glossary term or biography you're looking for. I keep a hardcopy of Publishing Timeline 2000 on my coffee table, a softcover copy in my office, and the CD-ROM right next to my computer! I highly recommend this book, whether you're in the graphic arts/publishing industry or you're simply interested in the history of man's pursuit of written communication.

Summary: A Celebration of Books, Publishing, Graphic Arts &Printing
Review: This fascinating book traces the history of publishing in a timeline from prehistory to the year 2000. It has 2,600 entries, 5,250 keyword references and 350 illustrations. A fully searchable CD is included. You will get lost in this book for hours.

This is a gorgeous book. Many of the illustrations are in color and it is printed on coated paper.

Richard Sasso has been in publishing for more than 40 years; 36 years associated with Scientific American. He has written a truly scholarly work.

This is an ideal gift for writers, publishers, graphic artists and anyone in the book or printing industries.

As a publisher and an author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I recommend this book to booklovers everywhere. [e-mail].
