In 2012, I started a new scientific research project named Book & Library International Searching the World's Libraries. The goal

was to visit a number of libraries throughout the world to see how much literature I could find on the topics innovation, business entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship in English.

At the same time, dissemination of information through the libraries was an integral part of the project. The book presents the Book & Library International Searching the World's Libraries project from its beginning in 2012 until today. The book as well as the project itself is excellent for scientific research and education and will be a great help to many professors, researches, students, entrepreneurs, business people, employees, librarians, politicians, decision makers and media all over the world.

"It is an honor to review the book “Books & Library International Searching of the World’s Libraries”. This is one of the books that should be voted as a must-read for citizens of our planet. It is a kind of surprising and unpredictable books that I advise to get acquainted with. I cannot express what I expected it to be – maybe more like a guide thing but it turned out quite different. The book is a real story of cultural and historical significance and is a short journal from the time when its writer went travelling to the different countries in pursuit of invaluable things – people, books, knowledge"
