The House of Harper (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780061936661)

An updated edition of this definitive history of Harper--a fascinating look into the history of American letters from the unique perspective of one of the country's most distinguished and enduring publishers--now with a new introduction that brings the book up to the present day. From Moby Dick to Huckleberry Finn--but not Alice in Wonderland, which was rejected--The House of Harper is a sweeping trip through American letters, offering anecdotes and stories about authors from Charles Dickens, Herman Melville, and Mark Twain to Thomas Wolfe, Aldous Huxley, and Edna St. Vincent Millay.
