"Asian Books Conglomerate is doing librarians, researchers and the general reader a great service by putting together a clearing house of the books published by small but nevertheless quality niche publishers scattered around the vast spans of Asia, from the Arab World in the west to pacific archipelagos in the east; from Siberia in the north to the nations in the Indian Ocean in the south..”
- Lance L. P. Gore, National University of Singapore

"..the Asian Books Conglomerate is a timely initiative that captures increasing academic and popular media attention paid to the important and significant but amorphous entity of 'Asia'. The initiative is likely to engage interested global audiences and their perspectives, encapsulating what 'Asia' means from a wide variety of perspectives.."
