About this Item
8vo. 95 pp. Soft cover. Very Good+. Beige paper wraps. Light impression of rubber stamp on top right corner of front wrap, else fine.Emphasizing that books are keys to cultural development, catalysts to trade, and unparalleled (but "neglected") ambassadors of American culture, this report points out the need for a new international outlook on the part of the entire United States publishing community. The report calls for a renewed cooperative approach, which would bring disparate parts of the U.S. book community together with a common cause, to help fulfill the immediate educational and economic needs of Third World countries. Various chapters of the report discuss the following: (1) the sponsorship, purpose, scope, and method of the study; (2) the faltering state of U.S. book exports; (3) the influence of multinational publishing; (4) the impact of English-language publishing in continental Europe; (5) previous major U.S. book distribution assistance programs; (6) current U.S. assistance programs; (7) assistance programs of other countries; (8) deterrents to U.S. book exporting; (9) responsibility for U.S. books abroad; and (10) a suggested plan for the future Appendixes include the United Nations roster of developing countries, book types exported by the United States, and statistics of four book distribution programs.ISBN: 084440442X 9780844404424.From the collection of the late Frederick Ruffner, Jr., founder of Gale Research, Detroit.
