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.

Zustand: Gut. XVII; 187 S.; 23 cm. Gutes Ex.; Umschlag stw. gering berieben. - Englisch. - For nearly half a century, Mr. Benjamin has been a prime mover in the publishing world-full of new ideas and new insights. He built McGraw-Hill Book Company from a fledgling of its parent company-the McGraw-Hill Publishing Company-to a lusty giant that ranges the whole field of publishing. He led the fight for a rational copyright law, for multinational publishing arrangements, for private sector publication of government-sponsored material, and more-long before any of those causes were popular or held tenable. Throughout his career, Mr. Benjamin's advice on the book busi-ness has been sought by his peers, by government agencies, by congressional committees, by foundations, and by the world at large. When Mr. Benjamin speaks, people in the know listen-for they realize from experience that this man has something worthwhile to say. A Candid Critique of Book Publishing is a distillation of Mr. Benjamin's lifelong observations on publishing. Much of what he has to say is controversial. But one thing is certain: His ideas are as vital, radical, and fresh as ever.
