Emphasizing that books are keys to cultural development, catalysts to trade, and unparalleled (but "neglected") ambassadors of American culture, this report points out the need for a new international outlook on the part of the entire United States publishing community. The report calls for a renewed cooperative approach, which would bring disparate parts of the U.S. book community together with a common cause, to help fulfill the immediate educational and economic needs of Third World countries. Various chapters of the report discuss the following: (1) the sponsorship, purpose, scope, and method of the study; (2) the faltering state of U.S. book exports; (3) the influence of multinational publishing; (4) the impact of English-language publishing in continental Europe; (5) previous major U.S. book distribution assistance programs; (6) current U.S. assistance programs; (7) assistance programs of other countries; (8) deterrents to U.S. book exporting; (9) responsibility for U.S. books abroad; and (10) a suggested plan for the future Appendixes include the United Nations roster of developing countries, book types exported by the United States, and statistics of four book distribution programs.
