La grande aventure du livre, by Stéphanie Vernet and Camille de Cussac

Welcome to the backstage of publishing! Before arriving into our hands, the book goes through all the links of a long chain: a real teamwork! Follow the author, the editor, the illustrator, the printer, the bookseller or the librarian and discover the daily life of a dozen exciting jobs. An original non-fiction book, served by Camille de Cussac’s illustrations, to know all the secrets of the book.

For each professional, two double-page spreads: first a presentation of the professional and his or her job, then a second spread full of anecdotes and true stories, where we explore his or her stuff: the illustrator’s drawing table, the sales representative’s binder, the publisher’s post its will no longer hold any secrets for you. But… isn’t the book they are all working on the one you are holding in your hands?
