New case-studies have been added which illustrate the commercial and practical problems that editors must address in today's complex and demanding marketplace.This book remains the one text that editors must have by their side throughout their careers.

Vitrine du fonds, des assortiments et des livres d'occasion des libraires, les catalogues reflètent l'offre et les stratégies commerciales d'une officine en direction de ses clients, particuliers ou professionnels du commerce du livre. Précieux témoins de la diversité des discours tenus sur le livre, ces catalogues, en général de modeste apparence, doivent souvent leur conservation au détournement de leur fonction toute pratique, dont ils portent souvent la trace, en faveur d'usages bibliophiliques et bibliographiques. La journée d'étude organisée par l'École nationale des chartes en partenariat avec la Bibliothèque nationale de France, dont ce volume est issu, dresse un panorama européen des études menées sur cette source essentielle de l'histoire du livre, du XVe siècle à la fin du XIXe siècle.

Paratexts are those liminal devices and conventions, both within and outside the book, that form part of the complex mediation between book, author, publisher and reader: titles, forewords, epigraphs and publishers' jacket copy are part of a book's private and public history. In this first English translation of Paratexts, Gérard Genette shows how the special pragmatic status of paratextual declaration requires a carefully calibrated analysis of their illocutionary force. With clarity, precision and an extraordinary range of reference, Paratexts constitutes an encyclopedic survey of the customs and institutions as revealed in the borderlands of the text. Genette presents a global view of these liminal mediations and the logic of their relation to the reading public by studying each element as a literary function. Richard Macksey's foreword describes how the poetics of paratexts interact with more general questions of literature as a cultural institution, and situates Gennet's work in contemporary literary theory.
