published in 1974, is at work on the fifth and final volume of his Lyndon B. Johnson biography. Their long relationship is the subject of a documentary,Gottlieb is perhaps the longest-serving man in publishing, a living link to those days when a successful book editor and his stage-actress wife could buy themselves an entire Manhattan townhouse like this one and stuff it full of books.
Gottlieb joined Simon & Schuster in 1955 and eventually became editor-in-chief, then ran Alfred A. Knopf. In 1987, S. I. Newhouse hired him to take overfrom William Shawn and then fired him a few years later in favor of Tina Brown . Then it was back to Knopf. Even at 91, he continues to work on occasional projects as an editor-at-large. What Gottlieb does, what he has always done, is read — widely and voraciously, if not, he says, as quickly as he once did.
