“The book market is declining by volume, but turnover remained flat amid higher book prices. We expect RON20 million turnover this year,” Iren Arsene, general manager of Curtea Veche, told ZF.
She founded the publishing house in 1998.
Last year, Curtea Veche reached RON18.5 million turnover and net profit worth RON2.1 million, from RON19.6 million turnover in 2021.
Traditional bookstores are still the publishing house’s most important distribution channel, though the contribution of the online channel is rising.
