Its interest for research and academic librarians probably would have been greater if, instead of thinking about the ways in which politics and economics can supply us with metaphors for think- ing about rivalries in the world of letters, more attention had been devoted to the actual mechanics of book fi nancing, print- ing, and distribution (e.g., the difficulties faced by writers from countries without a developed publishing industry in finding an overseas publisher) and their eff ect on literary production.—David Mulrooney, Harvard University.	cache/crl-15763.pdf	txt/crl-15763.txt
