The goals of XO Editions, created in the beginning of 2000 by Bernard Fixot, are both simple and ambitious. Simple because we intend to publish only a few books, in order to dedicate as much time as possible to them. Ambitious because Bernard Fixot wishes to touch the largest readership in France as well as abroad.

Ten years later, his wish has been granted: between 2000 and 2010, with a total of 152 books published, 130 were on best-sellers lists and 109 were widely distributed abroad.
