Its lobby showcases floor-to-ceiling glassed-in bookcases filled with books published by the company's many imprints. One of its major competitors in Germany is the Holtzbrinck Group. The company has a well-established reputation and thus has been mentioned in various creative works, including Jason Robert Brown 's The Last Five Years .
