Summary:

Here the author, a finance expert who has specialised in publishing, traces the convoluted pattern which has led to the creation of several multi-media companies, and in turn the individual stories of some of the major publishers involved in this shift. The study concludes with an examination of the profitability of trade publishing groups and the impact on literary standards.
