Review: By the Book

By the Book by Jasmine Guillory
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There are many books about books, roo many about writers, quite a few about bookstores and libraries and book clubs, but book publishing: not so much. There's got to be some, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
This is a good one, showing the drawbacks, to a job in publishing, particularly for the damn few POC. But also, the joys of seeing a good manuscript turn into a better book.
Plus there's the Beauty and the Beast easter eggs, so many easter eggs. As a fan of the Disney animated film I wouldn't say barely just enough of those, but every single magical one made me smile, despite my antipathy for the entertainment behemoth itself.

Library copy, natch
