I've spent a ridiculous amount of time hunting down different editions of niche books, so here's how I'd tackle a question about which publishers released editions of a 'homemakers' book worldwide.
First, I wouldn't assume a single global list exists without the book's exact title, author, or ISBN — many books share similar names. That said, in my experience the kinds of houses that publish homemaking, domestic life, or lifestyle titles at scale include big international houses (Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Hachette, Simon & Schuster, Macmillan) and specialty/coffee-table publishers (DK, Rizzoli, Chronicle Books, Phaidon, Taschen). For translated or regional editions you often see Grupo Planeta or Random House Grupo Editorial in Spanish-speaking markets, Bonnier in Scandinavia, Egmont in parts of Europe, and large Asian publishers like Kodansha or Shogakukan for Japanese translations.
If I wanted exact publishers for a specific 'homemakers' book, I'd start by looking up the ISBN on WorldCat and Google Books, then check national library catalogs (Library of Congress, British Library) and retailer pages (Amazon, Book Depository) where edition details are listed. Publisher colophons inside scanned previews or the copyright page are gold. If the book is older or obscure, bibliographic databases and OCLC records often list every edition and imprint.
If you can drop the exact title, author, or ISBN, I can walk through the searches with that detail and point to precise publisher names and countries — I love this kind of scavenger hunt.
