一本好书的产生,就“像是个小小的奇迹”;编辑是作者以外最有资格“说自己有功于这本书的诞生的”人——这就是编辑的满足感。在作者编辑的数十本书中,作者认为最能带来满足感的非黄仁宇作品莫属。作者回顾《万历十五年》两种新版和《现代中国的历程》的编辑过程,细数了在选题策划、组稿、编辑加工、装帧设计和宣传推广等方面的成功经验和深切体会。 The creation of a good book is like “a miracle like a miracle.” Editing is the most qualified author outside of the author. “People who said they have contributed to the birth of this book.” This is the editorial satisfaction. Among the dozens of books the author edits, none of the non-Huang Renyu's works that the author believes most satisfy. The author reviews two new editions of “Wanli's 15 Years” and the editing process of “The Course of Modern China”, and details the successful experience and profound experience in the topic selection, group draft, editing and processing, binding design and promotion.
