BOMC book that is not a book club edition
When is a Book of the Month Club book not a book club
edition? When it is the only edition. The other day I found a most unusual book - Stephen King, Secret Windows: Essay and Fiction on the Craft of Writing (Book of the Month Club, 2000). Yes, BOMC actually published the book showing itself as publisher and there is no other publisher. Some of the contents had never been published before; others were published only as articles in magazines; one, at least, was an excerpt from another book of King's - Danse Macabre. Has anyone else come across publications by BOMC? -- Francis A. Miniter Mesure is Medicine þauh þou muche ȝeor[n]e. Al nis not good to þe gost þat þe bodi lykeþ, Ne lyflode to þe licam þat leof is to þe soule. William Langland, The Vision of Piers Plowman Passus I, lines 33 - 35 |
