A Novel About A Novel

One book I want to read again is James A. Michener's work of fiction called The Novel. For anyone interested in the book industry, I highly recommend it. The book looks at one novel from four points of view: the author, the editor, the reviewer, and finally, the reader. I've never read a book that examined the book world that way. It's a look at how books were handled in the age before computers.It's been more than ten years since I've read it and I want to get reacquainted with it.
