The special problems and prospects of the selection and acquisition
of foreign publications deal with no trivial portion of world
publication. UNESCO's book production figures for 1960 assign less
than five per cent of the titles to U.S. publishers, leaving a whopping
95 per cent to be acquired across our customs, copyright, and censorship
barriers. According to the Bureau of the Census, the United
States imported over $22,000,000 worth of books and closely related
materials in 1960, an increase of nearly 10 per cent over 1959 imports;
and I have heard of no one who thinks this amount approached
adequacy.
