International Book Publishing: An Encyclopedia cover

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.

"This is a good choice for any library interested in the topic and highly recommended for academic libraries serving journalism, mass communication, and library/information science programs." - Library Journal "The essays form substantial contributions to the literature of publishing. They deal with the past and present states of the industry and its possible future development." - Reference Reviews "This fascinating overview of the industry will be of interest to librarians and other book people." - Reference Books Bulletin
