The Edinburgh Companion to Women in Publishing, 1900–2020
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.
Mamma Bologna
Donne e uomini che con le loro azioni - anche involontariamente - danno forma a una città, a volte essendone travolti. Con le loro diversità, i loro spigoli e le loro passioni. Episodi, volti, sensi, ascese, cadute, speranze, delusioni. Un sentimento che corre attraverso il tempo: Bologna, amata e sopportata, vitale e dormiente, reale e sognante. Madre, sempre e comunque. Ritratti di bolognesi - scritti tra il 1988 e il 2015 - che hanno cambiato la città delle Due Torri negli ultimi trent'anni.
Senior Service
Giangiacomo Feltrinelli was one of the most arresting and characterful international publishers of his generation, yet he died violently, as a member of an ultr-left group attempting to blow up an electricity pylon. Born into enormous wealth, he found himself equally attracted to great books and workers' rights. Feltrinelli sponsored two great post-war novels - Boris Pasternak's Dr Zhivago and The Leopard by Giuseppe di Lampedusa. He also published Saul Bellow, Che Guevara, Borges, Doris Lessing and Jack Kerouac in Italy. Despite the attentions of the KGB, Pasternak smuggled his manuscript out of the USSR to Feltrinelli, who then saw to it the the book was published worldwide, and the passionate editor's intricate, censor-duping correspondence with the besieged writer is relayed in this memoir, in which Feltrinelli's son Carlo looks back over his father's life.
Diary of a Tuscan Bookshop
HOW A BOOKSELLER INSPIRED A NATION The diary of a publicist-turned bookseller who left Florence to open a tiny bookshop on a Tuscan hill. 'Like Chocolat meets Penelope Fitzgerald's The Bookshop, set in the Tuscan hills... A celebration of writing, words and people: delightful' Mail on Sunday 'Who doesn't want to open up a bookshop in a gorgeous part of Italy? Just add a cosy armchair and a lazy, cold winter's day (each chapter comes with a useful list of books sold)' Stylist, Christmas gift guide for book lovers 'A work of significant beauty... Inspiring about the continuing life of books, and about the ways in which our lives can change and our dreams can come true, if only we insist on bel...
Bad Imaginings
Winner of the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize and shortlisted for the Governor-General's Award for fiction and the Commonwealth Writer's Prize, Caroline Adderson's short fiction collection travels far and wide. From adolescent brothers marooned at an indifferent relatives cottage, to a Depression-era Ukrainian immigrant reading the drought-parched skies above Palliser's Triangle, to two friends trying to make sense of feminism in the eighties, Adderson captures her characters' cadences, conflicts, and consolations, their individual burdens and the mysteries they share. Adventurous, often funny, and impeccably researched, these stories chart their lives with compassion and intelligence.

Storia delle librerie d’Italia
Dai negozi storici ai librai indipendenti, fino alle grandi catene moderne: l’evoluzione della vendita dei libri nel nostro Paese Le librerie non sono semplici negozi, ma sono qualcosa di più e di diverso. Sono luoghi di incontro, di diffusione culturale, con alle spalle vicende incredibili (personali, aziendali, famigliari). Vins Gallico ricostruisce la storia delle librerie italiane, mostrando l’evoluzione che il commercio dei libri ha seguito, ma soprattutto racconta la storia di una passione, di una devozione, di un’utopia. Dalle botteghe ottocentesche alle soluzioni più moderne, dagli enormi store di catena alle minuscole librerie di quartiere dove c’è posto a malapena per qu...
