Adressbuch für den deutschsprachigen Buchhandel 1995/96: Buchhandelsadressbuch für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland ; Adressbuch des österreichischen Buchhandels ; Schweizer Buchhandel-Adressbuch ; Verzeichnis des Buchhandels anderer Länder : [Stand : 28. April 1995]

The Adressbuch für den deutschsprachigen Buchhandel is an essential industry directory published annually by the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels, the professional association of the German book trade. The 1995/96 edition served as a comprehensive reference work during a period of transition for the industry, consolidating contact information for publishers, booksellers, and distributors across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It functioned as the primary networking tool for professionals before the widespread adoption of digital databases.

The design of this volume reflects the practical, utilitarian requirements of a professional directory intended for daily office use. It was structured to provide accessibility to a complex web of industry connections, reflecting the tradition of transparency and collaboration within the German-speaking book trade. While its aesthetic is austere, the volume remains a significant historical record of the trade's infrastructure at a specific snapshot in time, documenting the reach of the industry as it existed on April 28, 1995.
