Abstract

The article discusses publishing trends in Russia during 2004. The Russian Book Chamber reports a total of over 89,000 titles published, a record. Once again, that figure is certainly too low. The boom includes several new editions of reference works. Higher book prices in Russia, a lower dollar compared to the ruble, and higher postage costs have caused prices paid by American libraries to rise as well. Meanwhile, the Russian government continues to put additional restrictions on the news media there.
