I enjoyed the chance to get to know Toni Morrison as an editor in this book. The format is a little rinse and repeat, instead of giving a narrative we get examples of the Morrison's process with a handful of her authors/books. There was never really a reflection point for what TM meant as an editor to the industry at large. There are some really good chapters where there is drama or unique insight. Williams does not paint TM with only a rosey brush, she shows some darker shades which I really appreciated. There is a full picture of her at work. Overall the book was a little redundant (it read as an academic text in ways with the repeated points made) but also interesting.
