"[...] the (two) types of (existing) university presses, the medieval (i.e., Cambridge and Oxford models) and the modern (i.e., the American university press model) are being supplemented in certain countries by a third type, a new concept of university press," says Minowa. These proceedings - in two parts, "The Asian Experience" and "The International Experience" - discuss problems particular to 16 countries in the Asia-Pacific region and the possibilities of international cooperation. Not all countries are "developing" - for example, India, Australia, and Japan - although the rest qualify. Of particular interest is an appendix, "Report on the Formation of the Asian University Presses and Scholarly Publishers Group." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed.
