In the years since this standard work was last revised, many changes have taken place in the publishing world, not least the abandonment of the Net Book Agreement and the developments in electronic publishing. For this new edition of his invaluable guide, Michael Legat has rewritten the text extensively, not only to bring the book up to date, but also to present a clearer and more comprehensive coverage of the many aspects of its subject. Few pages of the original edition have been left unchanged, and the book has therefore been completely reset.

Michael Legat was born in London and educated at Whitgift School, Croydon. He joined the Publicity and Production Department of The Bodley Head in 1941, and apart from three years' wartime service in the Navy, stayed there for nine years. In 1952 he was appointed Editorial Director of Corgi Books, following which he held the same position with Cassell & Company. Since 1978 he has been a full-time author, publisher's consultant and lecturer. He has served on the Management Committee of the Society of Authors, on the Literature Advisory Panel of South East Arts, and as a Director of the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society and of the Copyright Licensing Agency. He is married and lives in Horsted Keynes.
