The first book - "Business in the lotus position." Artem read it in one gulp, and calls "mozgosnosyaschey" and "forming a picture of the world." This is a business novel about a man who decided to create a start-up, and his mentor, who helps him in this goal.
The second book - "superseksi packaged content" with a lot of pictures from the consultants on strategy. The working title of the book - «The Primes. Like any group can solve any problem. "
From her first wanted to give up, because in Russia all that is associated with the strategy, sold poorly. Yet Artem read the book and decided that it should publish, even in spite of the low sales potential. Position Artem - publisher must fulfill a social function, and from time to time publish the sign, but not a massive book to our readers had access to steep content.

The same thing happened with the recently published prescriptions - "hooliganism Notebook" and its sequel "Think of his signature."
A similar story happened with the Japanese system "Kumon", which the author came up with for his son more than 50 years ago, and then I offered for publication (at present it is one of the most popular techniques in the early development the world). In the photo - the original cover books that are not much different from ours.
As a best book for their own development called Alina "flexible consciousness».

Its 1.5-hour speech in the office Dima persuaded to give up meat many colleagues in the publishing house, and along with their friends, which We listened to a recording of this speech on the iPhone :) If you're wondering how it makes Dima, read his interview in the November issue of the journal Vegetarian.

«Strength of will"- another favorite book Dmitry.
"Make Yourself" in the frame planted for the company - a bestseller bestseller :) It made Natasha, who suggested this book for publication.
On the question of whether you read the book of competitors, Dmitry answers: "I read, but rarely. We out of 15 books a month and more, a lot of waiting, you know all about them - what a legend books, why we wanted to buy it. And they are some barely have time to read. Despite the fact that all the employees for free myth. It is difficult to motivate yourself to postpone these books and to spend money on something strange. "
