What is an Editor?Saxe Commins at Work

by Dorothy Commins

Format: Hardback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £38.73
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Saxe Commins, one of Random House's editors from 1933 to 1957, included in his stable of authors such major figures as Theodore Drieser, Sinclair Lewis, W.H. Auden, Eugene O'Neill, and William Faulkner. This collection of reminiscences by Commins' wife draws exclusively from his notebooks, memos, and other written records to produce a look at the publishing industry.
