Despite the problems of the book trade, publishing is still a fantastic field to work in. I truly have reason to be happy today.
My dream is that even in the future our publishing house will grow moderately and persevere on the basis of its own philosophy. Its key points are sensible management, a focus on literature, and respect for authorship.
