Key activities We are an Academic Publishing House. We publish books in
cd format in the field of Social Sciences. Our activity is in the
starting phase and now we are in close contact with the
European University Institute of Fiesole (Florence) but we
have contacted a lot of authors around the world who are
submitting their books to us for publication.
Key products Our key products are cd-books. They are CDs in which a
traditional book is reproduced in magnetic format. This
process permits us to publish and distribute at a very low cost
relevant books in the field of History, Economics, Political
Science, Law. More generally we publish that research which
traditional publishers are not able or interested to publish
because of their costs and the low diffusion of this kind of
publications. In fact, our books address the entire academic
enviroment. We publish in various languages but english is
the preferred one. We are also tryng to publish translations of
books originally published in languages as Russian or other
European languages with a low diffusion. Finally, we are
interested to publish in cd-format out of print books originally
published by traditional publishers interested to obtain a profit
by their copyright.
