The man who invented the modern profession of book editing finally got his due, 31 years after his death, when this revelatory biography appeared. A. Scott Berg's detailed explication of Maxwell Perkins's work on the manuscripts of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Thomas Wolfe, and a host of other important American writers shows how much the Scribner's editor contributed to their books, all the while maintaining that he only helped his authors find the best in themselves. This 1978 National Book Award winner is a thorough, carefully considered account of a seminal period in American publishing.

Goldwyn:A Biography

Time Warner Paperbacks*

#1 New York Times Bestseller In 1983 -- at the age of seventy-five, her career cresting -- the four-time Academy Award winner opened her door to biographer A. Scott Bert -- then thirty-three -- and began a special friendship, one that endured to the end of her illustrious life. From the start, Scott Berg felt that Katherine Hepburn intended his role to be not just that of a friend but also of a chronicler, a confidant who might record for prosperity her thought and feelings. Kate used their many hours together to reveal all that came to mind, often reflecting on the people and episodes of her past, occasionally on the meaning of life.
