Before 1995, publishing and retailing were the province of entities that did it in a businesslike way, usually for profit but always within an organizational structure dedicated to their publishing or retailing activity.

And writing a short description of your novel — like the three tight paragraphs you need in a query letter — is one of the hardest tasks of all.
