Description
In October 1768 John Murray founded the publishing house which until recently remained an independent.
He had no publishing experience and began with a capital of just GBP700.
On his death, twenty-five years later, Murray's stocks, shares and copyrights were worth GBP12,000.
Using John Murray's extensive archive, William Zachs charts the story of the man and the publishing house.
