Independent publisher Constable & Robinson has reported a sales increase of 23% in 2009.
In the year to 31st January 2009, sales grew by almost a quarter to £7.4m from £6.0m the previous year. The publisher did not disclose its profit figures for the trading year as they have yet to be audited. Constable & Robinson is expected to issue its full results in May.
C&R said that sales increased across its six publishing areas; the Constable list, Robinson Crime Fiction, the Brief History series, the internationally bestselling Mammoth books, Right Way, and the ‘Overcoming’ psychology series. It highlighted Quentin Letts’ 50 People who Buggered up Britain, the Agatha Raisin tongue-in-cheek whodunits, The Mammoth Book of Tattoos and The Compassionate Mind as its key successes in 2009.
Chairman and publisher Nick Robinson said: "We are never complacent and hope to build on our success, working closely with our authors who make it all possible."
