The Amsterdam ring of canals is a much beloved location for Dutch
book publishers. An exposition of the meaning of this urban
environment for publishers adds to the existing knowledge on book
publishers and their business locations. It also contributes to our
understanding of the role of urban place in cultural production by
looking at cultural production from a relatively unexplored angle -
that of the cultural intermediary - and by conceptualizing place as
a dynamic concept. Publishers function as cultural intermediaries
by bringing together the creation of cultural value and the selling
of cultural products. An exploration of the meaning of urban place
for cultural intermediaries in building reputation and trust in
their personal networks with authors, booksellers, colleagues and
the press, shows that place is more than geographical proximity and
is not a static condition for knowledge spill-overs: it is a
process, one that is interdependent on social networks.
