Cr�ticas

The book is energized by the Miller's indignation and disbelief as the case begins to go awry, and it is interlaced with wicked humor.--Joseph N. Welch II "Chicago Law Bulletin, January 14, 1999 " Anita Miller offers important insights into the vagaries of both the publishing industry and the legal system and reminds us that real David's victory over Goliath was truly a major upset that isn't recreated evry day.--Jim G. Burns "Political Science " Here is an egregious case of a small press bullied into defeat. Its importance is italicized by the takeover of independent publishers by conglomerates. The small press has become one of the few sources for serious books.--Studs Terkel [Miller] offers important insights into the vagaries of both the publishing industry and the legal system.--Jim G. Burns "Library Journal, December 99 " Who says that litigation is dull? Every publisher, every author indeed every reader will gain insights and be fascinated by Anita Miller's book.--Former U.S. Senator Paul Simon Anita Miller tells the story directly from the legal record...filled with dramatic events, suspense, and passion...Must reading for authors, editors, agents, and anyone concerned withthe publishing process.--Grant Barnes, Director Emeritus, Stanford University Press Uncollecting Cheever is a tour de force...an unprecedented insight into present day publishing procedures...It is at once horrifying and hilarious.--Marion Boyars, President, Marion Boyars Publishers, Inc. Uncollecting Cheever is the autobiography of a lawsuit...This fascinating and well-written work will appeal to anyone who is interested in the workings of today's publishing world, our legal system and how that system affects the people caught up in it.--Ronald Rotunda, Albert E. Jenner Jr Professor of Law, University of Illinois Anita Miller's important but disturbing new book is a brilliantly told story...a cautionary tale about a dead author's family's effort to stop the presses from printing a valuable book already under contract.--Daniel J. Kornstein, Kornstein Veisz & Wexler, New York City Uncollecting Cheever gets behind the scenes to explain legal strategies, quoting particpants in their own words. With events bouncing from high drama to black comedy, the effect is at once tragic and funny. The book is an informative, fascinating revelation of American publishing, law and human greed.--James A. Cox, Editor and Chief, Wisconsin Bookwatch "Midwest Book Review, Vol 9, No.5, May 99 "

Rese�a del editor

In the late 1980s, publishers, authors, scholars, and the reading public watched the results of two lawsuits involving the family of John Cheever, short story writer, and Academy Chicago Press. At stake was not only a collection of short stories, but also the definition of intellectual property.
