APPENDIX XIV.

BOOKS IN IRISH PUBLISHED BY THE GÚM.

Cléireach,


An Coiste um Chuntais Phoiblí.


In accordance with paragraph 18 of page xi of the report of the Committee of Public Accounts, 1955-56, I have had a survey made with regard to all the books in Irish published by the Gúm and submit the following particulars:—


1. Excluding music, the total number of books published by the Gúm up to 31st March, 1957 was 1,098.


2. 421 of these have either been sold out or have only a small number of copies left.


3. 211 others which were published within the period 1st April, 1952 and 31st March, 1957 have not been included in the survey, since because of the comparatively recent date of their publication it is not possible yet to assess the demand for them.


4. Particulars have already been furnished to the Committee in regard to 68 books of which 97,000 copies were sold as waste paper.


5. Of the remaining 398 books there is now little or no demand for the titles listed in the attached statement, totalling 283.


6. It may be mentioned that in relation to any possible measures for the disposal of these titles consideration must be given to the rights of authors and copyright holders, and also to the question of the retention of adequate stocks to meet possible demand, particularly in the case of textbooks which might be prescribed for the secondary schools, and of plays, for which the demand is normally slow.
