Its list of Hebrew authors includes Eyal Meged, Ephraim Kishon, Assaf Inbari, Yoram Kenyuk, Haviva Pedaya, Smadar Shir, Ben Caspit, Yair Lapid, Ehud Olmert[1]

and Moshe Yaalon. Its translated authors include J.K. Rowling, Harlan Coben, Steve Cavanagh, Hans Fallada, and J.R.R. Tolkien.  

Yedioth Books’ series “People of the Book” published 24 monumental works of Jewish literature, ranging from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Babylonian Talmud and medieval mystics to the writings of Moses Maimonides, S.Y. Agnon, Leah Goldberg and Theodor Herzl.[2]

Founded in 1995 as a merger between veteran book publisher Hemed and Israel’s largest newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth, Yedioth Books has been headed since its foundation by CEO Dovi Eichenwald. The company’s chief operating officer is Eyal Dadush.
