“We felt that we could do more for the smaller independent book and gift shops with their very distinctive consumers,” says Gillian Laskier, group sales director, Egmont U.K. “Our publishing range for these sectors has grown considerably and by careful consideration of our portfolio expertly sold by an enhanced team of agents we will be able to provide a more bespoke offering.”
Egmont’s range includes high-end gift books such as the Orla Kiely design led titles Colours and Numbers and Winnie-the-Pooh Baby Days; hard-back picture books such as Bear and Bird and Sir Charlie Stinky Socks; humorous books for young readers such as Mr. Gum and Agatha Parrot; as well as novelty character books including as the Fireman Sam Hide and Slide and Thomas the Tank Engine Tick Tock Clock books.
