publishers' reps left to right: Zeb Burgess - ?, unknown, Ted Maass - Macmillan, Frank Scioscia - Harper & Row
Don't trade book salesmen have great jobs? The responsibilities are hardly onerous. Each salesman has a territory filled with book stores. The salesman visits each one regularly and chats with the book buyer who is often the owner. The book buyer orders inventory from the publisher's new season list while they discuss readers and book buyers and authors.
The salesman checks stock and culls returns for the bookstore. Then he drives off to another bookstore for more fun.
