From: Elisabeth Jones <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2013 08:22:30 -0400 Hello, I would be interested in the answer to this question as well, as I've been looking into this history for the U.S., with regard to book publishing. A few useful resources that I've found so far: Chester Kerr, A Report on American University Presses (AAUP, 1949) Gene R. Hawes, To Advance Knowledge: a Handbook on American University Press Publishing (AAUP, 1967) There are also at least a few solid-looking histories of the Oxford University Press out there (possibly Cambridge as well), which were shelved near the ones above in my library's stacks.
