About this product
Product Information
From the burning of Byrons memoirs, Jane Austens clipped businesslike manner, and the lucrative controversy caused by the publication of Darwin s Origin of Speciesthrough to the discovery of the new young poet John Betjeman, the name John Murray has for more than two hundred years been synonymous with challenging, intelligent and progressive publishing. From its birth in 1768, when the first John Murray of Edinburgh came down to London each of its seven leaders has made his own contribution to the dissemination of literature and the understanding of the world. One became Byrons publisher and confidante; another began the revolutionary series of Murray handbooks which transformed world travel in the early years of the railways; a third broke controversial new ground with the publication of Queen Victoria s letters. So the tradition progressed to the end of the twentieth century, and a list of literary giants including Patrick Leigh Fermor, Osbert Lancaster, Francoise Sagan and Poet Laureate, John Betjeman. Written in Carpenters rollicking and iconoclastic style, it is an affectionate and vibrant account of the longest-surviving publishing house in the world

'The highs and lows of the literary world are reported with panache in this fascinating book. Superb photographs too', ' A treasure-trove of fascinating information paced into Humphrey Carpenter's riveting history of the world's longest surviving publishing house ...Terrific' , 'The late Humphrey Carpenter, a delightful and generous-minded man to whose memory I doff my cap, died while still at work on the manuscript of Seven Lives', 'Humphrey Carpenter's history of the firm, completed by other hands after his death in 2005, is an evocation of a vanished age', 'The highs and lows of the literary world are reported with panache in this fascinating book. Superb photographs too.', ' A fine testimony to Humphrey's unobtrusive scholarship and narrative skills...a major contribution to our knowledge of publishing practices and the history of the book', 'A treasure-trove of fascinating information paced into Humphrey Carpenter's riveting history of the world's longest surviving publishing house ...Terrific' , 'Tootal offers the perspective of a man in charge ... he tells the story well ... passionate admiration for his men is matched by disdain for others. Wars are invariably muddles, but Tootal details a shamefully comprehensive one.', 'A fine testimony to Humphrey's unobtrusive scholarship and narrative skills...a major contribution to our knowledge of publishing practices and the history of the book'

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
