At that time the Bulgarian authors prevailed in the publishing policy of Hemus. Its business has been orientated towards the children’s and youth audiences turned out to be favorable for the publishing house. The carefully selected titles, their low price and the well-developed distribution network generated the success of Hemus. The publishing house was strictly following the state requirements and standards at that time.
