But what’s in a title, anyhow?

The March 2008 issue of “Book Business” is a keeper, at least in these parts.  Not only is our distinguished CEO Will Pesce on the cover, but we also have several Wiley employees quoted in articles inside the publication.  Most notably, again in my world, is Joe Wikert, who is featured in an article on negotiating [...]
