A testament to the ingenuity of scholarly presses, "One Book/Five
Ways" is a fascinating experiment in comparative publishing. This
book records the history of a single manuscript, entitled "No Time
for Houseplants," submitted to five different university
presses--Chicago, MIT, North Carolina, Texas, and Toronto--and then
actually published by the University of Oklahoma Press. Each of the
five model publishers agreed to treat the book as a real project
accepted for publication and to compile a log of procedures they
followed. These logs include correspondence, budgets, forms,
layouts, and specifications, providing an insider's look at the
path a manuscript takes through the various departments of each
press, from editorial to marketing.
With a new Foreword discussing changes in publishing since 1978 and
an Afterword commenting on the actual publication of "No Time for
Houseplants," "One Book/Five Ways" is a unique educational tool for
anyone interested in the publishing process.
