Books without bosses : forty years of reading Between the Lines

Summary: "A graphic history of Canadian social justice publishing house Between the Lines. 'Can a small publishing company that offers an alternative viewpoint on social issues survive in an industry dominated by international giants?' In 1980 a Quill and Quire writer asked that thorny question. Well, here's the answer. Decades after its founding, Between the Lines is still definitely, defiantly, delivering those alternative viewpoints, and much more. <i>Books without Bosses</i> - a graphic history - provides a serio-comic glimpse of the publisher's forty checkered years (so far). Founded in November 1977 as a cooperative venture of two against-the-grain outfits with sixties roots (Dumont Press Graphix in Kitchener and the Development Education Centre in Toronto), Between the Lines remains one of a kind. From its first book-The Big Nickel: Inco at Home and Abroad-to today's award-winning titles, it has indeed survived-as one author put it, 'publishing outside the mainstream, ensuring alternative voices are heard loud and clear!'"--
