| dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses the dynamics of how books are published. It deals only with scientific and technical books at the professional level and does not discuss the very different types of situations related to textbooks and books for the general public (trade books). The paper presents a guide to prospective authors who want to approach a publisher. It discusses how to choose a publisher for manuscript submittal, how publishers select manuscripts to publish, the publishing contract, the book production process, and the marketing and promotion of books. Project PROCEED, which will be published by the MIT Press in Spring 1982 under the title, MANUALS IN INDUSTRIAL ENERGY CONSERVATION, is discussed in order to illustrate some of the general issues related to the book publishing process. | en |
