DK Publishing

 

An International Player
DK remains a strong name in the international markets: it is one of the few genuinely global players in the illustrated non-fiction publishing arena with titles being published in over 40 languages worldwide. It continues to be the pre-eminent publisher in the illustrated market. In the English language market DK is working hand-in-hand with Penguin, its titles being distributed through the Penguin Group UK, Penguin Australia, Penguin South Africa and Penguin operations in Canada and India.

The Future
In the future DK will concentrate on what it does best - creating first class reference books with spectacular illustration. DK's aim is to retain its position and to become the clear front-runner in the illustrated non-fiction market. New channels will be a priority
whether they are direct to the consumer or through co-ventures with Pearson Education. Unlike many publishers book retail, though highly important, is only one aspect of DK's reach and the target is to bring a quality brand to people who do not, or cannot, visit bookstores.

Books with Worldwide Appeal
The recent publication of Animal marked a new benchmark in reference design that aspires to capture, as close as possible, the movement and drama of the filmed feature. This completely fresh and breathtaking treatment clears the path between DK and its imitators.

In the future the white background, with which DK first made its mark, will continue but the design element that is crucial in all DK books is moving forward, taking an evolutionary step in these changing times. The books will have worldwide appeal essential for today's extensive global market. They are a new generation of books for a new generation of readers. As with Animal, the books will retain all the drama and surprise that is DK's hallmark but will be more integrated, more real, more dynamic, and more beautiful than ever before.
