Sir Stanley Unwin's best-known book was The Truth About Publishing.
It was first published in 1926 and held sway as a sort of
vade-mecum of the trade for decades afterwards. However as Sir
Stanley admits in his preface to this book, inspired by Arnold
Bennett's Truth About an Author, the book he first wanted to write
was The Truth About a Publisher. In the end that had to wait, not
being finally published until 1960. As the title suggests this is
the autobiographical companion to the earlier work. It is a full
and successful story: from the creation of George Allen and Unwin
('my life work' as Sir Stanley describes it) to his crucial work
for the Publishers Association, the International Publishers
Association and the British Council. The book is full of
fascinating stories of authors, publishers and books in the first
half of the twentieth-century.
