African publishers are not even minnows swimming in the shark tank in comparison. They leave little or no imprint in the minds of readers and writers. African writers often view African publishers as printers to make their books available in their home country. Demands that would not be made of Western publishers are insisted upon. Typical requests are: ?This is the title I am using? (never mind its meaninglessness in the local context); ?I am not happy with the choice of paper used to print my book?; ?Why is my book not available in other African markets which you have rights to?? (As if the Western publisher with world rights would also care about those markets).
