Sara B. Franklin. The Editor: How Publishing Legend Judith Jones Shaped Culture in America. Atria Books, 2024. 316 pages. I badly wanted to read this book. Sara Franklin got her doctorate in Food Studies in my NYU department and I met Judith Jones several times in the 1990s and 2000s (she died in 2017). Judith Jones is famous in food circles for rescuing Julia Child’s manuscript for Mastering the Art of French Cooking and getting Knopf to publish it.
