Albania Publishing Market Profile 2004
|
There are currently about 40 active private publishing houses in Albania which produce about 700 titles a year between them. The majority of the private-sector publishers concentrate on general and trade titles. However, since government policy has until the 2003/4 school year sought to subsidise textbooks' and other core education materials' prices, private sector publishers have had little incentive to enter the schools market with materials of any kind. This may now change as the government seeks to privatise its two education publishers on the basis of open price competition

Argentina Publishing Market Profile 2006
|
There are no accurate figures for the size of the Argentina book market, but industry observers and the author estimate that it is worth about US$450m per annum (£255m) at trade prices. These figures represent about 75 per cent of the levels attained in 2001, when the last report was written, but only 60 per cent of what the book market was worth in 1997/8. The devaluation of the peso to present levels (3 to US$1; 5.3 to £1) has severely restricted imports of goods (including books) priced in these currencies. UK publishers, with two exceptions, are generally not yet taking advantage of Argentina's strength in developing material for the internet.
