There's a good, funny new book out now that concerns the publishing industry, titled After the Workshop: a memoir by Jack Hercules Sheahan: a novel by John McNally, who has also written a couple of other funny books, particularly America's Report Card.

Also, Jules Feiffer, who I always loved, has written an autobiography titled Backing Into Forward. It tells his whole story from childhood, including his collaboration with Norman Juster producing The Phantom Tollbooth, which is a wonderful J-book for any strong reader age 10 up.
