"In two parts: 'International Book Year Plus Ten' and 'Toward a Reading Society: Targets for the 80s.' The first of these is an analysis of present trends and forecasts for the future such as problems facing governments and all who are concerned with the production and distribution of books in an increasingly complex and interdependent world. The second takes into consideration the results of national and international action over the past two years, puts forward measures to overcome the obstacles to book development identified in the first part, and proposes a new program."
