Thanks, Justin. Can I ask who the best chess publishers are in Spain (or indeed other countries if you and others have views on that)?
I have some 'Edition Olms' chess books, and I think they are Swiss (the books are in English, but often also in German, the ones I have include Korchnoi's Best Games [2 volumes] and a German-language edition opening book I bought for a laugh one time when on holiday in Germany).

Not sure whether some of these publishers in other countries are original output or translations/reprints of works originally published by others.
What do people think of 'online chess publishing' as exemplified by 'Chess Publishing.com'?

Chessbase magazine and DVDs might be another niche area, but not sure if they do any books.
Some more chess publishers listed here:

I'd forgotten about Moravian Chess:
https://www.moravian-chess.cz/
And Chess Digest - I can't find a website for them, are they still around?
Of course, the list of chess publishers that have gone out of business or merged or being taken over or had their book list purchased by someone else, could get quite long...
Apparently, Russian Chess House is a major publisher in Russia, but there must be others!

That looks like quite a nice publishing list.
BTW, if Tim Harding or other chess historians are reading along, I am sure I read somewhere that someone had attempted to estimate how many chess books had been published in the last few hundred years, and who the major publishers were. It would be possible, I am assuming, to get a full impression from a library catalogue or major collection such as at the British Library or the collection in the Hague.

From that second article, also the 'John Griswold White' collection in Cleveland, see this description by Tim Harding:

Have segued into chess history, but not sure where the dividing line would be drawn if writing a history of chess publishing - when would you move from 'history' to 'modern' chess publishing?
One more link, to what seems to be a portal for e-books from different publishers:
