Publisher address required in UK books?

by Norman DeWitt

Hello, I have a book about to launch and I recall somewhere seeing that there is a 50UKP fine for each copy of a book sold in the UK without the publisher's name and address appearing in the front and back of the book. Not sure if this is current information, and I cannot seem to relocate the original source. I'd appreciate any information on this, as I suspect a few copies of this book will sell in the UK. Not exactly thrilled with putting my home address on any book (1st experience in self-publishing). Thanks, Norm

I can't see that you would have to do that and I would suggest that anyone self publishing a book in England would refuse anyway. I'm English living in France and I found these people very helpful with any of my queries when I called them.

Hope this helps.
