"Developed at a fourteen-week training course at the International Rice Research Institute, this manual – designed primarily for use in developing countries and which has also been used for training courses in Africa – discusses editorial and publishing procedures with the emphasis on practical ... matters. The book includes concrete examples, checklists, and questions and exhortations to the students. Although now somewhat dated, this training manual remains one of the best introductory guides to book publishing." (Hans M.
