“Digital offerings for other genres, such
as lifestyle guides, illustrated books
and children’s books, remain limited
today. But their production could
accelerate to meet the strong
consumer expectations that we
discovered, particularly in Europe and
Asia”
We will exceed these expectations
with a scalable & global business
model.
