And this is, in fact, what happened.’This growing internationalisation prompted a congress of publishers in Paris in 1896, marking the birth of the International Publishers Association.International Publishers Association – The First Century by Fernando GuedesAvailable digitally for the first timeDownload hereIPA: 125 years of promoting and protecting publishingInternational Publishers AssociationAvenue de France 231202 Geneva, Switzerland+41 22 704 18 20info@internationalpublishers.orgFacebook-fTwitterLinkedinYoutubeVimeoTwitter© IPA 2021 All rights reserved
