-IU Press is the subject of various controversies involving its professionalism. Its latest fiasco, reported in the Chronicle of Higher Education, preceded by press releases from the head of IU Press, Ms. Rabinowitz, and IU's lawyer, concern a biography of the pianist de Pachmann allegedly written by one Mark Mitchell. After a multi-year investigation, IU's lawyer admitted that the book was based, without attribution or approval, largely on a manuscript written by a piano specialist, Edward Blickstein. In recent months IUP recalled all copies of the book and Ms. Rabinowitz apologized to Mr. Blickstein. Ms. Rabinowitz was the editor of Mr. Mitchell's book, and seemingly never asked him to show his sources. She has since been promoted to be head of the IU Press, and IU apparently supports her and has chosen not to reprimand her.
