With an emphasis on computerized design and workflow; increased use of digital, on-demand and cross-media output; and populist—indeed, personal editorial standards, modern book publishing bears little resemblance to the craft practiced a generation ago.

Readers will buy them online, for an e-pittance, in numbers unthinkable today, along with the classics, pop titles, textbooks,
