"A reference guide and networking tool for all those interested in the book industries and book development in Africa. The directory provides detailed information on some 300 major and/or most active publishers operating in Africa [at 1999], giving very full information for each entry, including name and address, telephone/fax numbers, email addresses, Web sites (where available), names of chief executives, number of titles in print and average number of new books published each year, and the nature of each publisher’s list and areas of specialization. Now very dated and no new editions have appeared." (Hans M. Zell, Publishing, Books & Reading in Sub-Saharan Africa, 3d ed. 2008, nr. 193)
