Editor Pharand, director designate of the Disraeli Project at Queen's U., has collected 187 letters between George Bernard Shaw and 25 publishers that illustrate both his wit and his focused
business sensibilities. Written for fans and scholars of Shaw's work, this volume covers nearly 60 years of the author's writing career and focuses on how he was constantly engaged with
publishers on every facet of his literary output. The editor includes his own extensive annotations as well as a thorough index of the correspondents. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc.,
