Spiegel 2017 hardcover fiction publisher ranking: Diogenes again in the top spot!

Just like last year, Diogenes is # 1 on the fiction publisher hardcover ranking of the Spiegel bestseller list for the year 2017.

Eight of our titles contributed to this feat, most prominently, Martin Suter's Elephant. The book about the handbag-sized pink pachyderm made it to # 10 of the 2017 fiction hardcover ranking.

Four more titles of which we handle world rights made it to the all-year fiction hardcover ranking: Donna Leon’s Earthly Remains was # 29, Benedict Wells’ On the End of Loneliness # 37 (particularly outstanding after being released in 2016), Ingrid Noll’s Tally-Ho # 57 and Klaus Cäsar Zehrer’s debut The Genius # 85
