The Editor: How Publishing Legend Judith Jones Shaped Culture in America by Sara B. Franklin

4.0

Judith Jones is a fascinating figure, and it's cool that Franklin had a personal relationship with her. However, this account sometimes felt unfocused to me, giving too much historical context about the time period or politics rather than the actual circumstances of Jones' life. I wanted way more details about her life besides that she cooked and worked. Plus, how did her work look besides letters to authors? A copyeditor was mentioned once - I would've loved to hear more about that.
