The publishing memoirs of Charles Nuetzel, legendary paperback author, editor, publisher, and packager. Interviews, reminiscences, tips and tricks of the trade -- everything you ever wanted to know about the early days of publishing from one of the authors who lived through it! "I was lucky enough not only in selling my work to publishers but also ending up packaging books for some of them, and finally becoming a 'publisher' much like those who had bought my first novels. From there it as a simple leap to editing not only a science-fiction anthology, but also a line of SF books for Powell Sci-Fi back in the 1960s." -- Charles Nuetzel
