Eff, I love this book. Jack McClelland wrote up to 20 letters a day. Editors before email.

think one of my fav things about this book is the letters to & from leonard cohen that culminate in mclelland telling cohen to stop being so egotistical & presumptuous about the way the publishing industry works. ALSO leonard cohen appears to have had the humblebrag down in the early stages of his career. (BUT I think he knew more early on than jack gave him credit for.) I LOVE THIS BOOK!

I've got no head for fiction right now so I'm re-reading this. I love what it says about publishing. I love how, as the business evolves, so do my reads of it. I love this guy and I love his letters to Margaret Atwood and Leonard Cohen and their responses! I love this book.
