The Editor’s Fedora Part 3

mars 10, 2014 by David Antrobus | 12 commentaires sur The Editor’s Fedora Part 3

Now we arrive at the crucial topic of cost, and the seemingly arbitrary variations in same. Some editors are so brilliant that they really can and do charge top dollar.

Going Out of Style

juin 18, 2013 by Iva Cheung | Un commentaire sur Going Out of Style
