"Based on the findings of a detailed survey of publishers in various parts of the developing world, this classic study identifies the key problems for the book industries in the countries of the South. Offers a general picture of the state of publishing in each of the regions, including Africa, and proposes a range of strategies to help strengthen the book sector." (Hans M.
