Hello AJLers -- After editing a manuscript for Prof. Shlomo Giora Shoham <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://en-law.tau.ac.il/profile/shoham_82__;!!KGKeukY!xHl6zlG9Bwa8jjgO0SApjkpuHJkHhktl-bVbZDhPM2fN92NrltI_ysYuQl3crtND5SlBKw2BX-f2mNbrkEceXXU$ > of Tel Aviv University, the author asked me to find a suitable publisher. A web search for Jewish Book Publishers turned up the *AJBP* list <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.avotaynu.com/ajbp.html__;!!KGKeukY!xHl6zlG9Bwa8jjgO0SApjkpuHJkHhktl-bVbZDhPM2fN92NrltI_ysYuQl3crtND5SlBKw2BX-f2mNbr3Osc84o$ > maintained by Avotaynu <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.avotaynu.com/__;!!KGKeukY!xHl6zlG9Bwa8jjgO0SApjkpuHJkHhktl-bVbZDhPM2fN92NrltI_ysYuQl3crtND5SlBKw2BX-f2mNbryRkPdzU$ >. That list has historical value but it is quite out-of-date so I decided to update it. Let's call the result the "April 2022" list. Here are some statistics.
*Attribute AJBP April 2022* Total number of entries 50 107 Number of entries on both lists 19 = 38% 19 = 18% Number of entries dropped 31 = 62% Number of entries added 88 = 82% Has a link to the entry's URL 18 = 36% 104 = 97% Provides email/webmail address 28 = 56% 95 = 89% Has link to Author Guidelines 0 = 0% 57 = 53% I sent the new list to every organization on it with a request for feedback and have made all of the very few requested changes. I have not yet decided where to store the updated list on the web. I would want there to be no charge for viewing or downloading the list. I probably should initiate a separate website for it via WordPress or Wix, for example. I did store the April 2022 list as a Word file in my Dropbox. You can download it and treat it as public domain with or without attribution to me. The URL for downloading it is: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.dropbox.com/s/60csjntg4kl0rle/Publishers*20of*20Jewish*20Books.docx?dl=0__;JSUl!!KGKeukY!xHl6zlG9Bwa8jjgO0SApjkpuHJkHhktl-bVbZDhPM2fN92NrltI_ysYuQl3crtND5SlBKw2BX-f2mNbrqWCMoVM$ Perhaps I should produce updated Excel files of Jewish-book bloggers and Jewish book clubs. Do any of you have a list of Jewish book clubs? or Jewish book bloggers? Best regards and stay well, Izzy Israel A. Cohen in Tel Aviv cohen.i...@gmail.com
