French books seem to have different conventions to british ones. Things I would expect to appear at the front of a book appear instead at the back.Carmody wrote:A question re the French book publishing industry:
when buying my French books I always buy them used and cheap, however, recently I have had two books arrive that have no imprint of a publisher within. This raises a couple of questions such as are these companies pirating the books or, which I guess is more likely, the copyright laws in France allow this practice after a certain amount of time. Does anyone know anything about the French publishing industry?
Thanks.
However to have no publisher's name at all does sound odd. Were these out of copyright works that might have been re-published by a low cost producer?
