Note:
Reader’s Digest figures are revenue for the entire company. Book sales
in 2011 were $545 million and $590 million in 2010. Figures are based on
sales generated in calendar 2011 or—for corporations with a fiscal
year—from fiscal 2011. Data are from publicly available sources and
include sales of books, journals, and digital products. Because
publishing data were unavailable, Pannini, Weltbild, and Disney/Hyperion
are excluded from the rankings. The listing was compiled by
international publishing consultant Rudiger Wischenbart under the aegis of Livres Hebdo.
