1 The Retail Book Trade M. G. Zifcak , 2006 single work criticism
— Appears in: Paper Empires : A History of the Book in Australia 1946-2005 2006; (p. 203-214) ‘After the Second World War, retail bookselling was entering a period of consolidation, expansion and relative prosperity. Over the next fifty years, however, bookselling was confronted by the closed market operations, the abolition of resale price maintenance and the amendments to the Copyright Act. Most of these had their origins in the widely held belief that the prices of imported books in Australia were higher than the prices in the countries of publication. Because of geographical location, and a comparatively sparse population. Australia continued to be heavily dependent on imported books.’(Introduction 203)
