Are all books on DA-Notice subjects dealt with under the DA-Notice System?
• Not all books. In the main, the DA-Notice Secretary only gets involved if either the publisher/author or the Department concerned asks for his advice or his assistance as an honest broker. In recent years, requests for DA Notice advice on books has grown steadily and by 2008 it was running at about one per month. This trend is expected to continue, especially now that the (Book) Publishers’ Association has agreed to be represented on the DPBAC.
