I was waiting for a description of how Bloomsbury decided to sign on J.K. Rowling - surely a signal moment in their continuing financial success! There's a brief account in Leith's, "The Haunted House: A History of Childhood Reading" at page 489 (incidentally a Sutherland House publication), but a fuller behind-the-scenes account could make for interesting reading.

Bloomsbury recently acquired titles from Rowan & Littlefield, including my two books. I’m happy to join my new family.

The beauty of capitalism is that it encourages people to take risks like this… if they have good credit.
