Hannibal Books

Publisher Cannibal/Hannibal celebrates its 10th birthday in 2020–21 and became Hannibal Books. After ten years of publishing at Cannibal/Hannibal, we can look back with pride on more than 250 published titles, including more than 20 bestsellers and top ten titles. Almost half of our books have been translated into English, French and/or German. While, at the beginning, we were unique for our beautiful sports and lifestyle books, which followed the same high quality standards as art books, over the years we have grown to become an international publisher of influential art and photography books.

Today, Hannibal Books is partnered with more than 25 top European museums, including the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, Kunstmuseum Den Haag and MSK Gent. We produce first-class publications that are noticed and distributed worldwide, proving that you can achieve commercial success and capture a large audience with art books. Our publications on the work of old masters such as Bruegel, Van Eyck, Caravaggio and Bernini, as well as contemporary photographers including Anton Corbijn, Erwin Olaf and Stephan Vanfleteren, have become international bestsellers, with more than 40,000 copies per title sold. To confirm and strengthen our story, we have decided to let go of the double imprint – Cannibal for sports and lifestyle and Hannibal for art – and to fully embrace the brand name by which we are known internationally: Hannibal Books.
