Readers series are being developed in collaboration with the International African Institute and the Review of African Political Economy We aim for the widest accessibility possible, publishing most titles simultaneously in cloth and paperback editions, and having an active policy of co-publishing in Africa and North America. Academics, booksellers and reviews editors outside of the UK and Europe should note those titles which have a co-publisher in their country and direct their enquiries and orders to that publisher. General enquiries contact [email protected] or [email protected] Review copy requests should be sent either on journal letterhead, or by e-mail with full journal details included, and will be honoured when sufficient stock is available. U.S. and Canadian journals should send requests to the North American co-publisher listed with the individual title information.
Requests should be sent to: Lecturers in the UK and Europe who wish to consider paperback books for course adoption must make requests on departmental letterhead (not by e-mail), noting course name and expected enrolment. Requests will be honoured depending on appropriateness of request and availability of stock. UK requests should enclose a cheque for �2.50 for each title requested to cover postage and packing. European requests will be charged postage and packing according to the weight, destination and method of shipping of each parcel. Please include a return fax number or e-mail address with the request so that we can confirm costs before shipping.
Requests should be sent to: HOW TO SUBMIT A PROPOSAL FOR PUBLICATION We welcome proposals for consideration before submission of a manuscript. Proposals should include a brief synopsis of the main argument and objectives of the work, estimated length, intended readership and a contents list with short descriptive paragraphs of each chapter. A brief personal C.V. is also useful. Initial enquiries may be sent by post or e-mail. Please do not send e-mail attachments unless requested by the publishers. Authors of recently completed theses are encouraged to contact us with proposals, but they should be aware that even the best thesis requires revision before being successfully transformed into a book. We advise that, as well as listening to the suggestions of supervisors and examiners, the most important thing is to seek the reactions of a wide range of colleagues before approaching a publisher. We do not normally accept unsolicited manuscripts. We do not accept entire manuscripts or sample chapters by e-mail. Proposals may be sent directly to members of our editorial team:
