(ANSAmed) - TUNIS, APRIL 19 - There is a strong demand for
culture in Algeria which often encounters troubles due to
practical problems, for example the difficulty of setting up an
effective system for book distribution, alongside a low number
of bookshops. In order to tackle this issue twenty Algerian
publishing houses (of about the 300 in the country) have decided
to join together and use their combined strength to create a
company that looks after distribution and promotes books across
the nation.
AFP reports that the announcement of the deal was given by Ahmed Madi, president of the national book editors' union, at a meeting which took place during the eighth edition of the national book fair underway in Algiers. (ANSAmed).
