From Dr. Mizanur Rahman Shelley’s days, I had been a frequent visitor to APPL sometimes to buy books and often to have cups of tea. I used to know APPL for its English language books of different tastes and interests. But now I look at APPL for quality Bangla book as well. APPL's catalogue is getting richer day by day.
I am happy to note that at one stage, my manuscripts made a good headway into APPL catalogue of books. Readers buy APPL books, and they want APPL not to disappear like some other publishing houses. I urge readers to buy books and help a selfless dedicated publisher survive.

APPL has already made a mark upon the publication world both at home and abroad. In recent years it has published some of the best works on the Liberation War, history, politics and urbanization of Bangladesh. Many of the Bangla publication are also outstanding. I am particularly pleased to learn that despite tremendous pressure the APPL has stuck to its original aim of remaining basically a research oriented publication house. it had been possible due to the steadfastness and determination of its founder, late Habibur Rahman and his worthy successor Mrs. Shahina Rahman, his better half.
On this happy occasion of the Silver Jubilee of APPL, I extend my heartiest felicitations of and congratulations to its Chairman, Board of Directors, managing Director and staff. I wish APPL all the success in future.

Late Mr. Habibur Rahman of Academic Press and I became acquainted some time in the late eighties. It gives me much pleasure even today to remember him, a perfect gentleman with an encouraging smile to welcome anyone he met. His sudden demise shocked all his friends and relatives including myself. By then Academic Publishers had transformed into Academic Press and Publishers Library ( APPL). Death of Mr. Habibur Rahman created a void in the administration of APPL. Ms. Shahina Rahman, not at all conversant with the publishing business, took up the challenge of running APPL, encouraged by her friend and well-wishers. We find now her dedication, hidden strength and courage have turned APPL into one of the leading Publishing house in Bangladesh. We all wish, under the supervision of Ms. Rahman, APPL will become more established into the near future.
