Gutenberg Publishing House In the recent decade, Gutenberg Publishing House has accomplished a portfolio that contains both fiction and non-fiction, as well as educational literature. This is the result of our views of a progressive publisher, according to which we would like to direct continuously the attention of our readers towards works of cultural significance conveying relevant values, as well as towards the authors of these works. We willingly display our commitment towards comprehensive publishing plans of a high volume of work, and, fortunately, this attitude usually meets the needs our readers: so far, we were able to make available a number of titles in new editions, with a high number of copies. Our most important affinity, however, has been represented from the very beginning by our exigent children’s books, both in their contents and in their layout containing illustrations of artistic value. We have still preserved our initial dynamism, even having increased it by our focus upon the reading habits of younger and older children. Nowadays our readers consider this our hallmark, connecting the books of Gutenberg Publishing House to these very qualities, and we in our turn are trying to turn the process of manufacturing books into a tangible instrument of acquiring experiences. This task is a duty, a challenge and an exciting game at the same time.
