Typo The Last American Typesetter or How I Made and Lost 4 Million Dollars

Everyone has been in debt from time to time. Maybe it's a few pounds from a friend, or a slightly larger credit card bill. Or maybe someone borrowed a few million dollars to buy a typesetting company with their best friend and then watched it all go horribly wrong. Oh yes, that's right, that was David Silverman...

David Silverman moved up the ranks from tech geek to owner and president of Clarinda, the largest American owned typesetting and publishing company before it ceased operations due to overseas competition in 2003. He has published articles on technology and publishing in industry publications, including Wired magazine and Publishers Weekly. In addition, he has been a consultant in the industry, a frequent speaker at publishing conferences, a member of international publishing technical committees, and been a guest lecturer on the typesetting industry at New York University's master's in publishing program. He currently works as an executive at Citigroup where he is responsible for, what else, disaster recovery.
