Dear Colleague,

I am pleased to present you once again with this year’s new Parramón Paidotribo Foreign Rights Catalogue.

As always we endeavor not only to add depth to our established catalogue themes that constitute our core business, but also move forward in our aim to become publishing leaders in these areas.

Thus in our drawing and painting series we have speculated on novel topics such as Drawing with Models. The fi rst title we published in this series, Drawing the Nude, includes a DVD with images of 100 models, three of which are presented in full-view, 360° rotatable video format. Another stand-out title is Painting the Great Masters, a study of painting techniques of the world’s greatest artists that includes augmented reality sections.

Introduced last year, our well-received Creative Tales titles supplement our successful catalogue of children’s literature that already includes the collections Big Book of…, 10 Stories and Essential Tales. We have also moved towards non-fi ction with learn-to-read books such as Forest of Letters, as well as re-visiting other Parramón favorites in e-book format. The Thinking Adventure is another of our ambitious titles and forms part of our Art and Science for Kids book collection.

We have boosted Paidotribo’s wellness and sports catalogue with new titles that reinforce our traditional specialties in chess, dance, pilates, football, nutrition, educational activities, therapies (speech therapy, physiotherapy...), health and exercise in the third age - available as both print and e-books. This year we expand on our core catalogue with similar high-quality content, evidence of our growing strength in sports publishing. Anatomy & Bodybuilding is the fi rst of these newly-created titles and will soon be joined by Basic Stretching manuals that complement many sporting disciplines.

We are confi dent that you will fi nd much of interest in these exciting new projects which, with your collaboration, we can also share with readers worldwide.

Sincerely

Emilio Ortega Gómez CEO
