J.W. & S. Hardy (Australia) are not publishers themselves, but are good places to find Go Books published by the above companies. Same goes for Samarkand (USA), though Good Move Press is part of Samarkand
French Publishers
PRAXEO? is a relatively recently launched publishing venture in France, producing books on intellectual games, with a particular interest in Asian board games. They have published three books on Go:
- "Jeu de Go: le language des pierres" (now in a third edition, 2010) by Motoki Noguchi, a primer on go which has been immensely successful in the French-speaking market
- "Tsumego: l'art du combat au jeu de go" (2010) by Motoki Noguchi
- "Chuban: la stratégie au jeu de go" (2010) by Dai Junfu?.
They have also published books on Mah-Jong, Shogi and Xiangqi.
These excellent books can be viewed on the website: http://praxeo-fr.blogspot.com

Brett und Stein Verlag started to publish Spanish books for beginners.
Currently these books are listed within the German website (see http://www.brett-und-stein.de/03-Go_Buecher-13-Spanisch.php), but can be obtained via all books stores, e.g. amazon.es. Spanish website www.tableroypiedras.es under construction.
RBerenguel: This is a personal comment from a Spanish speaker, take it as a suggestion, please. No Spanish-speaking player will ever buy a go book with such a blatant translation error on the cover, never, ever.
Notes:
[1] i.e. at least some of their books are written in the English language.
[2] The list of Chinese, Japanese and Korean publishers is quite rudimentary omitting many. The list appears to be restricted to those publishers described here at Sensei's Library and those with identified web sites.
( PeterHB: Where there is an SL page for a publisher, let's try to keep the minimum here. Links etc. on the associated SL page.)
