His first jobs were with Warner Publishers Services, where he sold mass market and trade paperback lines to the wholesalers and jobbers who handle supermarkets and other mass merchandisers. “When I got out of college, going into the book business was natural,” says Doherty. He absorbed book publishing as a child through his father’s career as a book salesman and publisher, and his mother’s work in management of a college bookstore, and he began delivering newspapers in a suburb of Queens, NY, when he was 10.īy the time Doherty was in high school, his parents had founded Tor Books as a publisher of science fiction and fantasy, and he worked there part-time and in the summer until he got his business degree at SUNY Binghamton. Born into publishing is how we could describe IBPA board member Tom Doherty.
