British Book Trade Organisation : A Report on the Work of the Joint Committee (Routledge Library Editions: Publishing and Printing)

Originally published in 1939, British Book Trade Organisation: A Report on the Work of the Joint Committee is a twelve-year study of the methods of book sales in Britain. The Joint Committee issued three reports, which were summarised here along with the Committee’s Recommendations, and an indication of the kind if action that had since resulted. A crucial factor in the push for further reforms that followed, today this title can be read in its historical context.
