"Analyzes the impact of donor support for book purchases on both the education systems and the domestic publishing industry. The author (formerly with the British Council in Lagos) identifies a number of positive impacts of textbook donation programmes, and suggests ways of improving the delivery of such donor provision in future by taking the process down to communities and away from central government."
