Since this is the first time I have a catalog from this publisher, I read it for fun. I never read such an impressive and inspiring style of writing. Of course, since it is a professional form of writing, the flow from paragraph to paragraph, grammar, spelling and tenses are all there. However, what makes it intriguing is how it was written. What I admire most about the letter is the interlacing and the connections made between today's current events, social behaviors and popular culture to the books published by Vertical, Inc. I do not think that by giving a small example is enough to show you what I mean. If by chance you come across the catalog, read the letter and see if you see what I mean. Regardless, I hope one day to write as skillfully and gracefully as the writer(s) did. If only I knew who they were.
Below are the manga/graphic novel titles and corresponding information from the catalog.
