RARA-AVIS: Wartime UK publishing

From: m23to53 ( library.john@virgin.net)
Date: 10 Sep 2006


Apologies for being rather off group topics, but can any of the historians amongst us help me. I need some information on the effects of WW2 on British publishing. Not just paper shortages etc, but loss of staff (through bombing, being called up, lost in action etc), actual loss and damage to publishers stock, buildings etc, effects on authors and availability of new manuscripts. Basically the effects of the war on the daily running of a publishing house (in London)during wartime. Does anyone know of any books, articles etc which could help me?

Many thanks John
