query: ms to book flowchart

[Ellen Garvey]

Can anyone point me to a simple chart or flowchart showing the
progress of a manuscript from the author's hands through the
publishing industry, to bound book? It can be contemporary, or 20th
century. I recall seeing a nice poster on the subject, but don't
recall who made it.
Thanks in advance. And belated thanks to people who passed
along hard won knowledge about what kind of digital camera to buy. I
haven't put the Sony I bought fully to the test yet, but so far it looks good.

I have a delightful poster on this process called "The Ecology of the
Book" by Gaspereau Press <http://www.gaspereau.com/>. It's printed on
laid paper (or faux-laid paper, one of the two) with red and brown
ink, with the illustrations taken from assorted woodcuts. I got it
from a prof who ordered a bunch in but arrived too late to give to his
class, and I'm pretty sure that he got them for free, which is always
nice.

Hopefully that helps,

There are a couple of good ones in Ch. 4 of Williams & Abbott's

"If one has read Shakespeare with attention, it is not easy to go a day
without quoting him, because there are not many subjects of major
importance that he does not discuss or at least mention somewhere or
other, in his unsystematic but illuminating way."--Orwell
