Women's creative labour in publishing has often been overlooked. This book draws on dynamic new work in feminist book history and publishing studies to offer the first comparative collection exploring women's diverse, deeply embedded work in modern publishing. Highlighting the value of networks, collaboration, and archives, the companion sets out new ways of reading women's contributions to the production and circulation of global print cultures. With an international, intergenerational set of contributors using diverse methodologies, essays explore women working in publishing transatlantically, on the continent, and beyond the Anglosphere. The book combines new work on high-profile women publishers and editors alongside analysis of women's work as translators, illustrators, booksellers, advertisers, patrons, and publisher's readers; complemented by new oral histories and interviews with leading women in publishing today. The first collection of its kind, the companion helps establish and shape a thriving new research field.

"The Society of Publication Designers annual celebrating the most outstanding editorial design from 2011, created for publications across print, web and tablet platforms"--Page 4 of cover
This book is a definitive history of C.F. Peters Music Publishers in Leipzig, founded as Hoffmeister & Kunnel Bureau de Musique in 1800; it spans culture, music, education and the Holocaust. Through extracts from letters, company and personal papers, the story highlights many fascinating and hitherto unpublished details about composers and major publications, often indicating how those considered of major importance today struggled for recognition in their own time. The emphasis is on the personalities, musicians, musical life and events, and genesis of some publications, rather than on musicological analysis. A gripping and detailed account of how the holocaust was to destroy the company's owner, Henri Hinrichsen and other members of his family, provides a grim reminder of the fate of Jews in Nazi Germany and the countries it came to occupy.
