Mapping and analyzing book markets and cultures internationally, for better understanding the actors as well as the driving forces are at the core of our ambition. We look at trends, developments and dynamics at all relevant levels, be it in a bird’s eye view on entire markets and regions, or at companies and their profiles, or be it for a close up on individual authors, their books, as well as how all those layers, players and perspectives connect.

Books and reading, in our understanding, bring together business and creation, markets and culture, the tradition and digital innovation as well.

Most of all, we are enthusiastic about witnessing at firsthand how books – this perfect format for disseminating complex knowledge and stories - are subject to the most exciting change in a long time.

In this perspective, we want to team up with individuals and organizations that share the curiosity for a better understanding of this process, and debate what we find.
