To mark the 100th anniversary of W. W. Norton & Company and to cheer Odyssey Bookshop’s 60th anniversary, Norton’s former chairman and president Drake McFeely will discuss his new book, "Books That Live: Norton’s First One Hundred Years," in conversation tomorrow night with current chairman and president Julia Reidhead.

Of the many major publishers born during the 1920s, all independent at birth, only one remains so today, owned wholly by those who work there, and only one remains committed to publishing for both general readers and students. That publisher is W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., founded in 1923.

On Thursday, November 9 at 7 PM at the Odyssey Bookshop in South Hadley, MA will celebrate 100 years of W.W. Norton & Company. Again, the new book is: Books that Live. We welcome author and former chairman and president Drake McFeely and Julia Reidhead, current Norton chairman and president.
