Abstract

Gordon Graham used his retirement as Chief Executive of Butterworths to launch a publication he had long had in mind; dating gestation back to the idea ‘nudging him on the shoulder’ in 1974. His intention was to capture thoughtful content around the publishing process; to expand and explore how decisions had been made. While the nature of publishing can be explained in a series of ‘how to’ functions, would-be publishers learn early just how many things need to be handled concurrently rather than consecutively. It follows that there is much to be learned from how others have managed; for the future benefit of industry participants of all flavours.
