Arcturus Highlighted in The Bookseller Amid Surge in Novelty Book Sales

We are excited to share that Arcturus has been featured in a recent article by The Bookseller, spotlighting the growing popularity of Novelty titles—a category that continues to grow and evolve in today’s market.

According to Tom Tivnan, Managing Editor at The Bookseller, the genre has seen remarkable growth over the past few years:

“The 2022 total for Novelty & Activity is £40m greater than where the genre was in 2010—it has more than doubled in value since then.”

So, what’s causing this surge? Tivnan credits the rise in sales to a number of publishers entering the novelty space—including Arcturus—bringing new ideas, creative formats, and accessible content to readers of all ages.

We’re happy to be part of this exciting trend, offering a wide range of engaging, hands-on titles that bring fun and creativity to learning and play. As the demand for interactive and visually appealing books continues to grow, we look forward to contributing even more innovative titles to meet this demand.
