Hasan, Abul Books Childrens Literature Cultural Differences Foreign Countries Government Role Language Variation Literature Problems Production Techniques Publishing Industry Reading Habits Regional Characteristics Focusing on the present state of book development in the Asia-Pacific region, where countries are separated by vast distances, this report examines measures that might improve local book industries and meet the needs for endogenous literature. The various sections of the report discuss (1) the book situation and needs in the Asia-Pacific region; (2) the intellectual aspects of book production, including endogenous authorship, translations, editing, copyright considerations, and the need for professionalism; (3) the physical aspects of book production, such as printing facilities and equipment, paper supplies, production costs, cooperative publishing, and publishing for rural areas; (4) the aspects of book distribution, including distribution channels, wholesalers, retail bookshops, book clubs, postal rates, market research, and library development; and (5) techniques for promoting the book industry, such as book development councils, financial incentives, training facilities, and improving reading habits and children's literature. Appendixes contain statistical tables, a summary of discussions and recommendations from a Unesco regional seminar on book development in the Western Pacific, and recommendations of the Unesco Collective Consultation on National Book Strategies in Asia and the Pacific.
