International Literary Market Place 2003

This comprehensive directory offers an essential snapshot of the global publishing industry at the turn of the millennium, providing detailed contact information and operational data for publishers worldwide. The resource is significantly enhanced by its dual indexing system, allowing users to locate publishers through both a Types of Publications Index and a detailed Subject Index with 142 distinct categories. Beyond core listings, it delivers valuable supplementary materials including international literary prize information, copyright convention details, and a worldwide calendar of book trade events scheduled through 2003.

What distinguishes this volume is its practical utility for publishing professionals, literary agents, and rights managers navigating the pre-digital landscape. The inclusion of a yellow pages directory and copyright frameworks makes it particularly valuable for international rights negotiations and market research. While its 2003 data is now historical, the book serves as an indispensable time capsule for researchers studying early 21st-century publishing networks and a fascinating artifact of the industry's structure before its digital transformation.
