AMONG FRIENDS: An Illustrated Oral History of American Book Publishing and Bookselling in the 20th Century.
Some of the most stressed-out young people in the United States, if movies can be believed, work in publishing.
The young in publishing are acutely underpaid; some suffer from a broken-spirited servility; they fear they will never master the ninja techniques of literary social climbing.

Everyone is dowsing for a best seller, or wandering like Eeyore in search of his lost tail.
