Quasi TRP - Norbert Wiener and publishing

[Matthew Cissell]

Hey P-listers,

Picking away and pecking at my immediate reading list I came across something that may be of interest, especially given the upcoming BE. In Jason Epstein's  "Book Business: Publishing Past Present and Future" there is a chapter (ch. 7 Modern Times) where in Epstein writes quite a bit about Wiener's best-seller "The HUman Use of Human Beings", entropy, and the eventual digital paradigm shift in publishing. TRP is not mentioned in the book; he is mentioned at length, as some of you know, in Al Silverman's "The Time of Their Lives: THe Golden Age of Great American Publishers, THeir Editors and Authors".

Sorry if this has already (in some way) been posted by Mr Kohut or someone else.

ciao
