Hail & Farewell: Paul Kozlowski

 

Dennis Johnson and our friends at Melville House have just written a moving piece on the late Paul Kozlowski, long-time friend and fervent advocate for publishing:

I guess I’ve always believed that all of us in publishing, if we’re any good, are fundamentally salespeople. Publicists, art directors, editors, marketing people: we all love books so much that we do our part in the business of making them to the very best of our abilities … so that someone will buy them.

Paul Kozlowski was the living embodiment of that idea, and of the idea that this is an undying characteristic of the best people in our industry — the people who wouldn’t know how to die in any way other than with their boots on.

Check out the full piece on Melville House’s blog.
