added in 1995.
Media Enterprises has accounts
with most British, American and
Caribbean educational publishers, and stocks a large range of
general interest titles covering The
Bahamas and the Caribbean.
As a publisher we specialise in
well-written informational texts
about The Bahamas. We also offer
low-cost services to local authors
for privately published works in
short runs.
The prices listed in this catalogue
are suggested retail, and are the
prices most likely to be found in
Bahamian bookstores. We supply
over 50 bookstores and other retail
outlets throughout The Bahamas.
