- Bjorn Rune Lie & co - 'The Wolf's Whistle'
▴ 'Rise and Fall'
- Told they couldn't sell in book shop as it didn't have a spine (a staple bound book that is placed spine facing out basically becomes invisible in the book shop - needs to have the cover facing out)
▴ 'Hildafolk' by Luke Pearson
- Hilda and The Midnight Giant - hard back, cloth spine
- Hild and The Bird Parade
- Produced in co-edition so that it can be sold to publishers in other countries
- Sold to Casterman - the publishers of Tintin
