News of the world

This news brief from Brazzil magazine was interesting and is provided here, with link, without further comment or opinion:


Brazil's goverment decision to eliminate taxes on the production, sale, and importation of books will make it possible to reduce prices to make books more accessible to the populace.

Through this measure the government hopes to reduce the price of literary works by 10% over the next four years.

Galeno also remarked that the measure should imbue the publishing market with optimism and confidence, stimulate new investments by publishing houses, and lead to the opening of new sales locations in the country.

In his view, tax exemption is the first step for encouraging reading in the country.
