Jump to: navigation, search

Jason Epstein is a key figure in the popularisation of the trade paperback. He also founded Anchor Books, and the New York Review of Books, with others. He wrote a book entitled Book Business: Publishing Past, Present, and Future. He is trying to introduce a book on demand system. Thus far, he has not had any success with making it a mainstream venture. His lack of knowledge of computers is noteworthy. His fascintion with the male penis is a true tribute to his gayness. A trade paperback can refer to any book that is bound with a heavy paper cover that is generally cheaper than the hardcover but more expensive than the regular paperback version. ... The New York Review of Books (or NYRB) is a biweekly magazine on literature, culture, and current affairs published in New York which takes as its point of departure that the discussion of important books is itself an indispensable literary activity. ...


In 1993, Epstein married Judith Miller, a journalist who writes for The New York Times. Jump to: navigation, search Judith Miller (born 1948 in New York City) is a writer for the New York Times. ...

Jason Epstein, whom I blogged earlier this year, has reviewed a number of books in the current New York Review.
The overall outcome of Epstein’s piece is that book digitisation will not lead to lots of books being read on screen, nor to them being printed out on a4 to sit in awkward, expensive stacks of manuscripts.
Perhaps unsurprisingly Epstein uses the platform to push his identical vision for the future of books-on-demand, coupled with his startup and its Book Espresso machine.
Epstein Unbound (1380 words)
With his peremptory manner, his Jason Robards style (too old to be leading man but ready to upstage all pretenders), and his famous curmudgeonliness, he is, vividly, the old man railing against the fates -- this is a listen-to-me-one-last-time encore.
Epstein, a legendarily nasty son of a bitch (and this is kind), is not, by a long shot, anywhere near the worst I've met in the book business -- indeed, we shortly discover that we both carry around much the same list of loathsome and incompetent sons of bitches.
Epstein, if possible, is even more sweeping than I am in his condemnation of the men and women who manage the business.
