What Can You Tell Me About the Publishing Process?

So far I know that you finish a book, and somehow contact a literary agent with a query letter. What should be in this query letter?
Next, they try to convince a publisher to publish your book. Where does editing fit in? Are editors like agents, where you don't pay them except for 15% of the book sales, or do you pay them a fee? If so, how much would you pay them? Also, how do the books get into stores like Barnes & Noble?
Thank you.
