摘要：WHEN a definitive history of Af rican publishing is written, Hans M. Zell, one of the two au thors of the volume under review will stand out. Directly, Hans Zell represents our reason for adapting In Pursuit of Publishing the title of the autobiography of the late Alan Hill, initiator and facilitator of Heinemann's African Writers Series (AWS) as the headingifcr this review. Zell was the director of the Ife University Press for much of the Seventies. In that period, the press became the model for University presses in Nigeria as well as in Africa - in the light of its distinguished scholarly publications and particularly then once famous but now deceased annual book fair it originated. In 1973, the press organised an international conference on the theme, Publishing in Africa - a Dialogue for the Seventies, an event that pulled participants from all over Africa and Europe and America. Zell later left Ife to found his own publishing company in the UK which is unambiguously focused on Africa publishing and book development.
