McIlroy--Publisher's Newsletter Pays Tribute to Printer

After moving to the United States in 1988, I lost touch with David and lost sight of his company. We didn't meet again until five years ago at an NAPL seminar. At that time, he put me on the mailing list for his occasional Publishers' Newsletter, and I've used it to track his progress since.

The Publishers' Newsletter is an informal piece, printed two-sided on 81⁄2x11˝ sheets. David always writes it, and it bears his warm and informal voice. I'm always struck by its frank tone. If things are going poorly, David explains why. If things are going well, he's not shy about owning up to a banner year for sales (as most of his years appear to be).
