"Describes the programmes, activities, and modus operandi of the Community Publishing Project (CPP) at the Centre of the Book in South Africa, which assists self-publishers to acquire basic skills in book publishing, marketing and distribution, and which also provides small grants to groups of writers and would-be publishers to cover printing costs of small prints runs of books that are of interest to specific readerships, but that would not be of interest to commercial publishers." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 2508)
