The head of the Publishers and Booksellers Association says we witness the closure of many publishers in the country every week.
Houman Hassanpour, the head of the Publishers and Booksellers Association, stated that 9 reams of paper are sold today for between 700,000 to 1 million tomans. If a publisher wants to publish a 500-page book, they have to pay 110 million tomans just for the paper. How much capital does a publisher have to pay such amounts just for one book?
