LOCAL PRINTING
Efforts have been made during the past few months by certain literary agents to induce a few selected authors to make separate contracts for the publication of their work in Australia and New Zealand, and to exclude these markets from their English contracts, according to a letter from Mr. F. D. Sanders, secretary of the Publishers' Association of Great Britain and Ireland, in the latest issue of "The Author."
This practice, which would lead to the printing of many of the more important books in Australia instead of in England to supply the Commonwealth and New Zealand market, is considered by Mr. Sanders to be an undesirable one from the author's viewpoint in the long run.
He also states that it would compel New Zealand booksellers to depend on Australia for their supplies of important new books. "It is well known that New Zealand sttongly resents being treated as an appendage of Australia," lie adds.
