去年岁末 ,笔者有幸应邀到台湾进行为期１０天的访问 ,对台湾出版业进行了认真的考察 ,现将走马观花所得报告如下以期加强大陆与台湾同行的了解。一、台湾年出书突破３万种台湾地方不大 ,人口２３００万 ,但出版业很发达。据当局统计显示 ,目前台湾有图书出版企业６３８０家。 Late last year, I was fortunate enough to be invited to visit Taiwan for a 10-day visit. I conducted a serious survey of Taiwan’s publishing industry. I will now report on the curtailment of the publishing industry in the hope of strengthening the understanding of the mainland and Taiwan counterparts. First, in Taiwan, the number of books published in the world has exceeded 30,000. Taiwan is not large enough and its population is 23 million. However, the publishing industry is well-developed. According to the statistics of the authorities, there are currently 6380 book publishing companies in Taiwan.
