One of our job's favorite parts is to receive the samples of the foreign editions that we have licensed. Sometimes it's easy to tell because the cover contains similar elements, or the author names remain unchanged. But when the foreign publisher decide to go on a totally different direction and the target language uses a different alphabet, then it becomes a fun guessing game!

We added a bunch of foreign editions in August 2016. We can't wait to see how these new editions will look like! Here is a list of deals we closed last month:
