Donald Weiser, Occult Publishing Veteran, Dies at 89, a 2017 Publishers Weekly obituary, is trade press journalism covering the death of the publisher behind Weiser Books, a major occult and esoteric publishing house. Publishers Weekly is the publishing industry's principal trade journal and its obituaries carry that industry's own institutional record keeping. Its authority covers the basic biographical and career facts reported. Its limit is that it is a brief obituary rather than a full biographical or business history. Cite it for Weiser's basic career facts; a fuller account of the house's publishing history needs a dedicated study.
