520    Al Silverman, a noted figure in American publishing, has 
       written a wonderful chronicle of book publishing for all 
       who cherish books. The Time of Their Lives is not only a 
       love song to the industry's golden age, an era that began 
       after World War II and lasted for three-plus decades, but 
       it is also a reflection of the tastes and cultural 
       appetites of the American public. Relying on the eyes, 
       ears, and memories of more than 120 notable publishing 
       figures, including Alfred Knopf, the Doubleday fathers and
       sons, and the Thornhills of Little, Brown and Company, the
       author offers an intimate history of never-before-told 
       stories about how some of the most important books in 
       postwar America came into being. Along with houses that go
       back to the mid-1800s, Silverman covers publishing's post-
       WWII newcomers such as Roger Straus, who amassed nineteen 
       Nobel Prizes in his time, and Barney Rosset, whose Grove 
       Press freed such banned authors as D. H. Lawrence and 
       Henry Miller. He takes a close look at the paperback 
       revolution of the 1950s and the 1960s and pays particular 
       homage to the Golden Age's talented horde of editors, who 
       offer marvelous stories about their authors. It was Arthur
       Thornhill, Sr., in his years as president of Little, Brown
       and Company, who said about the occupation he loved, "I 
       wanted to be part of something that was good." In this 
       fascinating and elegiac history, Al Silverman illuminates 
       a period in publishing that not only was good but also 
       formed a distinguishing landmark of culture in American 
       life.
