Book Piracy and the challenge of saving Nigeria's Publishing Industry

Book piracy has been an issue trending in the Nigerian publishing space recently. This 

is because of the ripple effects of the action on both publishers and authors alike. This

action has over the years been a bottle neck for publishers and authors in achieving 

their aim of reaching out to the public and making sales from their respective 

publications.

In the light of this, this study seeks to explain certain reasons why this action has not 

been effectively nipped in the bud as well as the pandemic effects of this situation.

Conclusively, the study would suggest some of the ways in which this challenge could 

be surmounted, thus further encouraging authors and publishers, and boosting their 

quest and desire to publish the more.
