10.2. Publishers and distributors

Webster’s (3) defines a publisher as "the reproducer of a work intended for public consumption." The publisher, in fact, may coordinate many activities involved with "publishing": deciding what to publish, how to publish it, who will print it, and how it will be distributed. The publisher may be a corporate body, a person, or a serial (i.e., the editors of a serial).
