When he retired as director 32 years later, the Press had been transformed into one of the largest, most distinguished university presses in the country, publishing more than 150 books annually in fields ranging from ancient history to contemporary film criticism, by notable authors from all over the world. August Frugé's memoir provides an exciting intellectual and topical story of the building of this great press. Along the way, it recalls battles for independence from the University administration, the Press's distinctive early style of book design, and many of the authors and staff who helped shape the Press in its formative years. 606 $aUniversity presses$zCalifornia$zBerkeley$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPublishers and publishing$zCalifornia$zBerkeley$vBiography 610 $a1940s. 610 $aacademic publishing. 610 $aacademic. 610 $aadaptation. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aasian books. 610 $abestsellers. 610 $acommunication. 610 $aediting. 610 $aeditorial. 610 $afin de siecle. 610 $afunding. 610 $ahollywood. 610 $ainternational literature. 610 $ainternational. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $aliterary history. 610 $apublishing books. 610 $apublishing. 610 $ascholarly. 610 $aturn of the century. 610 $auniversity press. 610 $aworld literature. 610 $awriting books. 615 0$aUniversity presses$xHistory 615 0$aPublishers and publishing 676 $a070.5/94 700 $aFrugé$b August$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01221820 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495959203321 996 $aA skeptic among scholars$92833197 997 $aUNINA
