The Growth of the Scholarly Publishing Industry in the U.S. “There are many changes taking place in the publishing industry today – however, there were also major changes taking place in the academic publishing industry in 1939 through 1946 as captured in Albert Greco’s “The Growth of the Scholarly Publishing Industry in the U.S.: A Business History of a Changing Marketplace” – the book provides a very good narrative of the events including the economic depression, nuclear research in Germany, developments in scientific journals and research monographs, as well as many other change agents – all supported by data captured in tables and charts – it is a solid history and well worth reading.” —Robert E. Baensch, Editor, Publishing Research Quarterly Journal
