This book first published in 1978 provides a broad and
comprehensive view of the Soviet book publishing industry based on
extensive use of Soviet sources and on visits and interviews
conducted in the Soviet Union. Book publishing is examined both as
a manufacturing and distributing industry enmeshed in the machinery
of central planning, and as a disseminator of ideas influenced and
controlled by the organs of government, the Communist Party and the
censorship. A 'policy approach' is used to study the operations and
management of the vast Soviet publishing industry, examining the
complex pressures which affect its administration and the impact
those pressures have on books published in the USSR. The powers of
the Communist Party, government ministries and the censorship over
the publishing houses are analysed. The perspective of the book is
wide enough to take in questions about the place of the author in
the publishing process and the role played by printing and
book-selling. Attention is paid to the special problems in
publishing different types of books: fiction, textbooks, scientific
works, mass political literature and so on.
