| As the largest archipelago on the planet, Indonesia, has benefited from its strategic location in the heart of a well-known trade route since the early development of intercontinental commerce. Regular trades between merchants from various nations and cultures and the native inhabitants resulted in the acculturation of those different cultures. This is one of the major reasons why countries in Southeast Asia are known for its abundant wealth in history, culture and politics. Indonesia is likewise. The extraordinary wonders of the archipelago are known to be close to infinite.
While there are many ways of promoting the various facets of Indonesia, publication was not considered as effective until in 1982, a group of Indonesians who shared a similar vision decided to start marketing Indonesia through books. This group felt challenged to produce good quality books to both prove the richness of colourful Indonesia and to promote better understanding of the country. Putting strong emphasis on writing about the exploration of Indonesian cultures, the group started by making cooperation with several leading publishing houses such as Times Media Publishing and Editions Didier Millet.
In 1995, the same people established a small organisation to try to produce books about Indonesia by themselves. However, the size of the organisation required them to still associate with much bigger publishing houses. The year 2006 marks the independence of the organisation. BAB PUBLISHING INDONESIA has developed and grown big enough to publish books independently. The significantly increasing demand for books about Indonesia is also one of the major reasons for such rapid development.
Now at its peak, BAB PUBLISHING INDONESIA hopes to keep producing books that promotes the infinite richness of Indonesia as the largest archipelago in the world.
