DEAR DONALD, DEAR BENNETT(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　My lucky star is a house?and an imaginary one at that.
　　Rockwell Kent drew it, one day, sitting in my office,
　　and it was adopted forthwith as
　　a trade mark for our publishing firm.
　　We called it Random House because we said
　　we were going to publish anything under
　　the sun that came along?if we liked it well enough.
　　That was in 1928. We?re trying to
　　make the star burn a little brighter each year.?
　　Bennett Cerf — Review

　　In 1925, Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer bought the Modern
Library from Horace Liveright, and three years later they launched
Random House. For more than forty years they personally guided its
fortunes, creating one of the most successful publishing companies
in America. Cerf died in 1971, Klopfer in 1986.
