Publishing History
The Inspector Rebus series is extremely popular, accounting for 10% of all crime book sales in the UK. The books now routinely sell half a million copies within the first three months of printing, and have been translated into 26 languages. They are currently published in the UK by the Orion Publishing Group. Currently seventeen full novels have been written. The seventeenth was thought to be the last as Rebus turned sixty, the age of retirement for CID officers, but at the Hay Festival in June 2012 Rankin announced a further book entitled Standing in Another Man's Grave planned for release in November 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words publishing and/or history:
“While you continue to grow fatter and richer publishing your nauseating confectionery, I shall become a mole, digging here, rooting there, stirring up the whole rotten mess where life is hard, raw and ugly.”
—Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
