First Published in 1996. This encyclopedia is unique in several ways. As the first international reference source on publishing, it is a pioneering venture. Our aim is to provide comprehensive discussion and analysis of key subjects relating to books and publishing worldwide. The sixty-four essays included here feature not only factual and statistical information about the topic, but also analysis and evaluation of those facts and figures.

Updated and expanded, this third edition reference guide and networking tool is for all those interested in the book industries and book development in Africa. It provides detailed information on the major and/or most active book publishers in Africa today, and has been revised and expanded to include over 420 publishers. New in this edition are publisher Web site addresses, representative/local agencies and languages of publication.

Other listings include over 45 book trade organisations, over 20 book trade journals and reference sources.
