Abstract
Book, whether in traditional or electronic format, is a resource bank for educational growth. It is a compendium of the past as well as knowledge for the present and the future. Book is a medium of Mass Communication with significant contribution to educational growth. Indeed, the number and quality of books emanating from a country can be used to determine the educational development of the country. Scholarly publications are essential in this regard. Therefore, this paper examines the practice of scholarly publishing, especially scholarly book development in Nigeria. It explores the essence, techniques, challenges and prospects of scholarly book development for educational growth in the country and recommends hybrid collaboration strategy as a means of generating manuscripts for books as well as promoting and distributing them.
