They Read BOOKS and Go to COCKTAIL PARTIES
MICHAEL LEGAT
Michael Legat, author of the bestsellers An Author's Guide to Publishing and Writing for Pleasure and
Profit, looks back over his long and distinguished career in publishing and his subsequent achievements as a
writer.
He reminisces about his first job at The Bodley Head, his long service at Transworld Publishers, including sixteen
years as Editorial Director, and five less happy years at Cassell.
He goes on to tell how, as well as publishing five novels, he has established himself as the foremost author of
how-to books for would-be writers.
They Read BOOKS and Go to COCKTAIL PARTIES is liberally laced with humour and a wealth of fascinating anecdotes
about such diverse personalities as Claire Rayner, Nicholas Monsarrat, Dr. T. Lobsang Rampa, Jacqueline Susann and
the publishers Stanley Unwin and Victor Gollancz.
Michael Legat proves himself an entertainer of rare quality in this charming and highly readable book.
