About This Site »

This Website is a multilingual venue for dialogue about the culture of the book among the publishers and editors who participate in the East Asia Publishers Conference. Publishing varies markedly from region to region of East Asia, but everywhere it is undergoing profound changes. What books attract the interest of publishing professionals on the front lines? What objectives do they aim for in their work today? What do they glean from books about the state of culture in their own regions and in the world at large? How can they use this knowledge to foster a new book culture? The East Asia Publishers Conference Website is a collaborative effort by publishers and editors to create a forum for recommending books and engaging in dialogue with one another, thereby transcending the confines of their respective regions. Their aim is to rediscover the public sphere of East Asian book culture and create a new reading community in a part of the world that is home to a long and rich tradition of the printed word.
