Number of Iran's active publishers
The number of publishers of none of the country's provinces is comparable with Tehran. Tehran has 2,617 publishers within it and sees Qom Province with 479 publishers behind it. Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, too, has only 5 publishers! The number of publishers of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, alongside the fact that there are only 5 provinces with more than 100 publishers, means that the distribution of publishers in the country is highly asymmetric. Of course it should be known that the number of Iranian publishers is more than the country's need. The head of the ISBN unit of Iran Book House (Khane-ye Ketab) in 1397 (2018/19) announced that the number of publishers that have a permit to operate in Iran is greater than that of the European Union. Also the head of the Inspection Commission of the Publishers and Booksellers Union in 1396 (2017/18) announced that the number of the country's bookstores is about one third the number of publishers.
