Henry Holt and Company

Um, and they said, "Well, now, you know, time for something illustrated, time for something for a younger audience." Um, and they pushed me in that direction, as did my, my agent, as...

And they found me a wonderful, uh, adapter, um, at Henry Holt, uh, Children's Books, uh, who, who took the book and reduced it and enabled me then to, to, to turn it into what we have.

Uh, Laura Goodwin is her name, and she did a fantastic job.

And they also did, in my view, a lovely job in graphics, um, u- using a design by a cousin of mine, it's actually a, a piece of art, as the cover, and doing stuff that I've actually never seen or rarely seen with books.

This is what happened to me, my wife, and our two little children," I think, um, m- means that it's not just a historical narrative.

It's a life story or part of a life story.

And to their credit, the folks at Hol- at Henry Holt, especially Laura, um, made me amplify things that were in the original book, uh, especially familial things, uh, including things like many more pictures of the family, including a whole bunch of, of sidebars, including illustrations, um, that I think bring this closer to people than just text would do Um, there are a few illustrations in The 100 Years of War, but this is mu- this is just so much better i-i-in terms of, of, of being accessible to people.

And, and that was, that was the, the point all along.

I remember this very clearly.

I had-- My first book was published with Henry Holt.

It was a book called "Milagros: Girl From Away," and when that book came out, I thought, "I have arrived." You know, my-- That everything, all the gates will open.

This is so great.

First, the hidden rich.

In a new book, The Everywhere Millionaire: Who's Really Rich in America and How They Got There, published by Henry Holt, economists Owen Zidar and Eric Zwick look at the incredible wealth of an overlooked group, the owners of private businesses.

It's based on extensive original research, notably an examination of IRS data that no one has ever really looked at before.

Their businesses are structured mostly as pass-throughs, that is an arrangement that allows them to avoid standard corporate taxes and instead pay the lower personal income tax rate.

It can be something as mundane as shoveling snow from the local airport, or building sea walls, or one CEO we talked to, uh, stored paper.

Um, and not all of them live in gated communities.

I'm speaking with Owen Zidar, co-author of "The Everywhere Millionaire" from Henry Holt.

And now what are their lives like? From some of your description, they sound like one-dimensional workaholics, but is that too harsh?

While Danny struggles to find a new place in the world, Daphne reconfigures the experience into her most famous work, Rebecca, with surprising results.

Venus Vanishing by Rebecca Birrell from Henry Holt and Company is set in the heyday of Berlin between the wars.

Hannah Sherman has deviated from the traditional narrative arc of a woman's life.

After rejecting an arranged marriage, she leaves home to join the city's underground art scene, reveling in its clubs and galleries with newfound friends and lovers.

I see what you mean.

The publisher, Henry Holt & Co., actually calls this one of the great what if stories of modern literature.

It's a fantastic description.

And they also call it the perfect tribute to a life that should have been lived.

It is too grossly clumsy to say fellow fan or co-enthusiast.

So Mr. Smith, a philologist of charming finesse, have you read his book The English Language published by Henry Holt, boldly proposed to fill the vacancy by coining the word milver.

This, he said, would be useful to poets since there is no rhyme in English for silver.

The word milver, alas, leaves us cool in spite of its usefulness as a rhyme.

I have...

Oh, wait, actually no, this was Henry Holt.

I have, like, this classic Nancy-
