Summary
"Scribners tells the inside story of five generations-more than 150 years-at the legendary publishing house of Charles Scribner's Sons, beginning with its founding in an unused chapel in downtown New York, continuing through its golden era on Fifth Avenue above the famous landmark bookstore and down to the present day. The author, the fifth of the Charleses to work at that house of celebrated authors, provides here an inside view--'between the covers' of illustrious and notorious books--of the family members, editors, and authors of this colorful literary history"-- Provided by publisher.
