World demand for U.S. medical books rises after WWII
International sales director George Schall notes Philadelphia publishers ship medical works valued over 100000 dollars annually. W B Saunders sent 90 tons to Australia in a single year. Lea and Febiger report overseas orders up to four times higher between 1953 and 1970 with Europe and Japan leading. Saunders cites U.S. focus on new developments and top experts as the draw, while publishers sell English editions and translation rights abroad. Translation helps foreign students with cheaper labor and materials, but most medical books stay in English due to professional language requirements.
