“The days when the financial fortunes of books depended upon the colloquial support of influential people in a small Society are past; neither publishers nor authors as a class have any relation to Society at all … That personal intercourse between publishers and the miscellaneous race of authors has, I am told, long since ceased.”
H. G. Wells
