says Dr Tomas Seng, president, Tessloff Verlag in conversation with Varsha Verma at the stand of Sterling Publishers at the New Delhi World Book Fair.
thomasTessloff is a well-known German publisher for non-fiction books for children in the age group of 8-12 years for over half a century. “We have 126 titles and all these are on TV, DVDs, audio books and online as well,” told Dr Thomas Seng. “In India, we have a joint venture with Sterling Publishers called Tessloff Sterling Publishers Private Limited. We have released eight titles so far and the response has been very promising.”
Interestingly, Tessloff Sterling Publishers Pvt Ltd is the first of its kind Indo-German joint venture in the area of book publishing. This co-operation is set to bring together the philosophy and skills of two of the leading children’s book publishers to present a wide range of quality books for infants, kids and teenagers. “Whetting the appetite to learn and providing the initial spark for reading on and thinking beyond are the principals on which our books are based,” he added.
What’s more? All the books are originally in English language as the ‘How and Why’ series was originally from US but the rights of which were bought by Tessloff in Germany and the company has been exporting these titles worldwide.
“We have books for these segments – knowledge, playing and learning and we plan to offer all the titles to the Indian market,” told Dr Thomas. “And after two years, we may even come out with these titles in Hindi.”
Currently, Tessloff is negotiating with popular TV channels in India for coming up with their programmes on TV as well.
