  • Germany Publishing Market Profile 2006 HTML | PDF

     It is estimated that the majority of UK book exports to Germany now go through the five importing German wholesalers, who in turn use UK and US wholesalers for a significant percentage of their ordering. Much of their German trade is thus 'invisible' to UK publishers.

    Ghana has many small local publishers producing cheap primary-level school books, or largely religious tracts and books. Local publishers are generally small-scale and privately owned.

  • Greece Publishing Market Profile 2008 HTML | PDF

    Greece continues to be an important market for book sales as well as rights and co-edition sales for UK publishers, according to Mike Esplen author of the PA's Greece Publishing Market Profile 2008. It is difficult to estimate the value of the market accurate but it is believed to be worth around £450m at retail value and £250-200m at net publisher receipts. Translations account for over 40 per cent of Greek book production and 53 per cent originate from English. The UK is also the largest source of Greek book imports (27 per cent) and Greece was the fifteenth largest export market in 2006.
