Africa Book Publishers & Distributors

List is from March 2011. Only a few updates added more recently.

The publishers and distributors listed on this page are publishers and distributors in Africa and around the world that either focus exclusively on Africa-related books or publish a significant number of books on Africa each year. I am beginning the list with publishers and distributors known to me and with websites that supply sufficient information about the books they publish or distribute.
