Book Synopsis The First John Murray and the Late Eighteenth-century London Book Trade by : William Zachs
Book excerpt: In October 1768 John Murray founded the publishing house which until recently remained an independent. He had no publishing experience and began with a capital of just £700. On his death, twenty-five years later, Murray's stocks, shares and copyrights were worth £12,000. Using John Murray's extensive archive, William Zachs charts the story of the man and the publishing house.
