Sobre este artículo
Toronto, Ont: Knopf Canada. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. 0676971504 . Black hard boards with gilt lettering on the spine. Excellent condition, clean, bright, bound tightly. The DJ is unclipped with very minor edgewear. "Jack McClelland, the man who set out in the fifties to transform McClelland & Stewart into the country's most exciting publishing house, is renowned as a risk-taker and an entrepreneur, indefatigable, irascible, funny and humane, who did some things well and some things badly - both in extreme measures. He is credited with bringing Margaret Atwood, Mordecai Richler, Irving Layton, Leonard Cohen, Margaret Laurence, Farley Mowat, Pierre Berton, Roloff Beny and many others to centre stage in Canada and around the world. He is famous as the hard-drinking, chain-smoking publicity hound whose flamboyant stunts, calculated to bring attention to his books, made front-page news. But he was also an astute reader who denied his skill as an editor, an inveterate, spicy letter writer, an ardent nationalist, loyal friend, devoted family man, and a man whose passion for the family business delayed his leave-taking until the company's financial difficulties nearly killed him. ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; 435 pages .
