exico’s publishing industry
has experienced continuous
growth over the past few years,
as evidenced by the number of
New Horizons Awards received by several Mexican
publishers at the Bologna Book Fair.
In 2008, the National Chamber for the Mexican
Publishing Industry (caniem) set up the Children
and Young Adults’ Book Committee, comprising 19
publishing houses, both private and public, working
jointly in the promotion of authors and illustrators.
This catalogue includes a brief selection of
these publishing houses’ backlists. It provides an
introduction to some of the works we consider most
suitable for the sale of foreign rights.CONTENTS

DE MÉXICO
A
rtes de Mexico began publishing over twenty-five years ago. During
this period we have created a series of books and magazines that
permit readers to reflect on Mexican culture from very diverse per-
spectives. Thus, for example, we have issued a series on our national
symbols, which gives us a better understanding of who we are, how others perceive
Mexico, and how this notion has influenced our fantasy. Our series on national
fiestas is equally important: each issue reveals Mexico’s celebratory side, the clearest
portrait of our country. These were all created with a single purpose in mind—to find
pleasure in the contemplation of our culture, and to find even greater pleasure in
understanding it.

C
onstantine Editores has devoted nearly 26 years to the creation, edi-
tion and publication of its own collection, concentrating primarily on
the distribution of educational and reference works directed mainly to
children and young readers.
We have a series of publishing projects aimed at children, young people and
families, conceived as collections or independent books and subject to changes or
suggestions established by clients according to their preferences and objectives.
We are currently focusing on the development of books in braille, for we are
aware that conditions do not exist for many visually challenged children and young
readers to read or enjoy everyday books, or to find adequate books among the many
titles in the market.

TECOLOTE
E
diciones Tecolote was created to reveal Mexico’s artistic and cultural
heritage, and to introduce certain aspects of knowledge to a non-spe-
cialist audience, particularly children and young people. This publish-
ing house seeks to renovate the book, transforming it into an interac-
tive medium of learning by means of a novel concept that brings together text and
image through original design. This way, history, art and different aspects of human
creation become objects of interest for the greater public.
Ediciones Tecolote has a catalogue of 150 titles broaching history, folk art and
Mexican art. However, in the past few years it has been enriched with other sub-
jects that are of interest in our country and beyond.
