The Craft of Interviewing

John Brady， editor of Writer's Digest and himself an accomplished interviewer， has put together an indispensable guide to the art of questioning. In a lively， down-to-earth manner， "The Craft of Interviewing" covers all aspects of the interview process -- getting the interview， doing research， handling the subject face-to-face， hurdling hazards， getting tough， taking notes (on the sly， if need be)， taping， dealing with off-the-record types， concluding the interview， verifying it， and writing it up. Brady has also filled the book with a myriad of anecdotes revealing the experiences of some of the best known interviewers of our times. A noteworthy appendix on the history of the interview is included.
