Lexicon: "And that's what's wrong with publishing today."
Usually a mild misquote by me. Here's the original source:
When I was twenty-six, my first novel, The Temple of Gold, was published by Alfred A Knopf. (Which is now part of Random House which is now part of R.C.A. which is just part of what's wrong with publishing in America today which is not part of this story.)
-- William Goldman, The Princess Bride

Time marches on. Knopf is still owned by Random House, but they're now owned by Bertelsmann. Which is just part of what's wrong with publishing in America today which is not part of this story.
