This initiative, compiled by I.C.E. in co-operation with A.I.E., the Italian Publishers Association, was started in 1999 and aims to encourage the exchange of information between the Italian publishing trade and the publishing trade world-wide, and to provide a showcase for the most recently published Italian titles. This enterprise forms part of a wider project which I.C.E. and A.I.E. are undertaking to promote greater awareness of Italian publishing on international markets and closer working relationships between Italian and foreign companies. This catalogue is also available as a CD-ROM and can be accessed on the Internet at the following address: www.italien-on-line.de/buchmesse-2001 A.I.E. and I.C.E. are attending the Frankfurt Book Fair and will be at Hall 5.1 Stand C 902 to provide information on the publishing industry in Italy, as well as to assist Italian and foreign companies who are interested in programmes promoting the industry. 7 General Information What is I.C.E. ? I.C.E. (Italian Institute for Foreign Trade) was established in 1926 to assist the Ministry of Foreign Trade in technical matters. Today, it is the government agency that promotes the internationalisation of Italian companies, in particular SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), and boasts a network of offices worldwide. I.C.E. promotes trade, industrial and technical co-operation and provides economic information on Italy. Furthermore, I.C.E. gathers market data at an international level in order to keep Italian companies abreast of business opportunities abroad, and to assist them in their search for foreign partners. Foreign companies frequently turn to the I.C.E. offices in order to source and analyse potential Italian suppliers and partners suited to their specific requirements. The Headquarters located in Rome is managed by the following departments: Information, Training, Promotion and Co-operation. Enhanced use of Information Technology and of the Internet facilitates the constant exchange of information and feedback from its world-wide network. This enables I.C.E. to swiftly respond to on- going challenges affecting international markets, to raise awareness regarding potential business opportunities and available support, and to keep target markets under constant review. The I.C.E. office network comprises: 16 regional offices throughout Italy, over 41 offices in Europe, 8 in NAFTA, 10 in Latin America, 6 in Africa, 3 in Oceania, and 30 throughout the Middle East and Asia. 8 General Information Istituto Italiano per il Italienisches Institut für Commercio Estero, I.C.E.

With about fifty thousand titles published including new titles and reprints, we are witnessing either a substantial stability in the supply produced (the positive interpretation) or a slight fall in titles produced (the negative one). 1998 has already gone down as the year with the lowest absolute growth of the whole decade (with an increase of only 1%). Between 1991 and 1998 we experienced a progressive, if not steady, drop in average production growth, which however maintained an upward trend until then. Three factors characterise the overall make-up of book production and deserve to be noted: the share of new titles (61.5%) out of supply as a whole, showing a continuing commitment by publishers to renewing their product lines; the trend towards making more pocket versions, indicating more adaptable pricing strategies; and the increase in titles translated from other languages (23.4%), particularly English, as a condition „feeding“ supply from publishers. At all events the book market (books and electronic publishing products, including export of publishing products and services) shows an overall increase of 1.0% on the previous year in 2000. This growth seems drawn mostly from products on digital media (up 8.7%: educational, professional & art titles, works of reference, multimedia encyclopaedias, but above all games) rather than from those in traditional book formats, which continue to show growth rates slightly above inflation, excluding children’s books. This market seems made for the 10% of electronic off-line products, more than 600 billion, that are sold through the various channels 12 Italian book title production of distribution (works of reference, educational titles, games, but also professional products for the legal and tax markets and the like). In this context, we cannot overlook the market for illegal photocopying concentrated in university and STM publishing, given the burden it places on our country. The overall market for book reprographics has been estimated at around 571 billion lire in 2000 lost to the turnover of the whole publishing industry (publishing houses, authors, distributors, bookshops). That’s equivalent to around 2.8 billion pages of books reproduced annually, not only in copy centres but also in libraries or within companies etc. This figure represents something like 10.3 million books.

  • FINLAND and the ÅLAND ISLANDS Monday
    FINLAND AND THE ÅLAND ISLANDS Monday 21 July Today we crossed from Tallinn, Estonia to Helsinki, Finland by ferry. The first thing to do was a major and quite expensive stock-up shop at the supermarket over the road, in anticipation of more expensive times to come in Scandinavia. Then along to check in early with the Finnish Eckero Line, and after a wait of an hour or so we were among the last to be loaded, along with many other motorhomes and heavy trucks. Big ship, with many similarities to those used for Channel crossings. The only problem was to get away from the live music in the public areas, much enjoyed by most passengers. Also popular was lying out in the sun on and around the small covered pool in what was a beautiful blue day – windy, though. We finally found a relatively quiet spot to read and use the internet before going on deck again to watch the ship’s spectacular entry to and through the Helsinki archipelago. You can never watch the final docking because of the need to get down to the cars and vans, so the first we saw of Finland was through the open rear of the vessel. We had the Tomtom all set to guide us to the camp site, but even so it is a stressful business being dumped in a busy part of a busy city like Helsinki without much idea of where you are or how you get to where you want to go. The camp site, in the suburb of Rastila, is about 10 km north-east of the city.

It happened that the writer once had tea with the family, being in 1925 a school friend of Edwin Brown, the artist's only son.

He made several sea voyages to gain atmosphere far his pictures, even to the River Amazon. In local waters his favourite type seemed to be topsail schooners, often used as comparisons to the lordly liners of the above mentioned fleets. About 1930, the Browns moved to NalpD.S, Cheshire, and though Sam exhibited a beautiful picture of swans at the Liver Sketching Club's autumn exhibition one year, no further ship portraiture appeared.
