The answer is yes. The best way to find what books were published in a specific country is to refer to a National Bibliography .
A national bibliography is a comprehensive* list of all the books published in a specific country during a calendar year. It is usually put together by a national or depository library in a country and is intended for a limited audience - librarians, book publishers and researchers. You can find selected national bibliographies in PCL, in particular those of the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany on Level 6 of PCL in Section 6R or 6S.
You may wish to verify the publishing details on AcqWeb which has a list of online catalogs and other bibliographic checking tools.
You may also wish to search the Research Libraries Information Network (RLIN) Union Catalog. The RLIN Bibliographic file serves as a comprehensive union catalog for everything from books and serials to archives, manuscripts, maps, music scores, sound recordings, films, photographs, posters, and computer files. The Bibliographic file covers from the advent of printing to the present, reflecting the collections of major research and academic libraries ; archives and museums; law, medical, and theological libraries; art and music libraries; area studies collections; public and corporate libraries; historical societies and book clubs. Records include the names of contributing libraries as well as local call numbers. Updated daily, the Bibliographic file includes more than 30 million titles.
Alternately search the OCLC Worldwide catalog of materials held by 23,000 libraries in 63 countries on the OCLC network, with over 35 million records of books, periodicals, newspapers, maps, music, audio-visual materials, manuscripts, and more, in all languages. Updated daily.
*Some materials published by smaller publishing houses may not be deposited with national libraries for inclusion in these bibliographies.
