The indigenous book publishing business for Sundanese-speaking communities started in the early 20th century, when the nationalist movement was set in motion. The modern school system had continued to spread in colonial society from the mid–19th century. The more education spread, the more literate people there were among the indigenous population. The indigenous book publishing business responded to the demands of this newly-emerging readership. Book publishing finally turned into a business by the 1920s. It seems to have provided distinctive readings from those provided by Balai Poestaka. The indigenous publishers played a supplemental role in nurturing print culture in the colonial context. Both government and private indigenous publishers contributed to promote modern readership and a colonial print culture. The book publishing and print culture in regional languages like Sundanese were nurtured in the colonial period and grew to constitute a medium to decolonize knowledge and knowledge culture.

This chapter demonstrates how different global value surveys have confirmed what any observant and educated global traveller knows—that even in similarly developed countries, people have different values and tastes and, consequently, they read different books. Further, the chapter explains how the global spread of printing technology and market forces have produced similar results in all book markets worldwide. First, the number of published titles is rapidly increasing. Second, the number of bestsellers and print runs per title are decreasing, although a very few blockbuster titles stand outas exceptions. Third, due to the first two trends, publishers’ average income per title has decreased so that the entire book industry has become increasingly dependent on bestsellers. Yet, due to value differences among countries and cultures, the traditional publishing business model has come under a number of pressures and a variety of new book ecosystems has emerged.
