Major titles in the agency's history
This is a list of some of the books whose rights we have handled in the fifty some years of our history. In order to compile the list, we have queried our database for those works which have sold over a certain number of copies in Japan, and used the list generated by this query as a starting point.
However, the importance of a book surely does not rest on sales figures alone, and we have also elected to include a number of titles here which were not originally in the computer generated list.
A different criteria for inclusion has been applied to certain exceptional authors such as Agatha Christie, and for illustrated works, and works honored by literary awards. With regard to continuing series of books such as Anne of Green Gables, Tales of Peter Rabbit, Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, Moomin, James Bond, Elmer, Tales of Narnia, Doctor Dolittle, Little Old Mrs. Pepperpot, and Darren Shan, we have included here only the representative early works of each series.
