International Book Publishing: An Encyclopedia


Book Description

First Published in 1996. This encyclopedia is unique in several ways. As the first international reference source on publishing, it is a pioneering venture. Our aim is to provide comprehensive discussion and analysis of key subjects relating to books and publishing worldwide. The sixty-four essays included here feature not only factual and statistical information about the topic, but also analysis and evaluation of those facts and figures. The chapters are significantly more comprehensive than those typically found in an encyclopedia.

Book Description

The past decade has brought dramatic changes to the publishing industry.

This volume examines these changes and illuminates the various prospects for the future of publishing in the coming decade.
