"My sales have been increasing since 2005," said Schuetrumpf on his stand at the Frankfurt Book Fair that was decorated with posters of Marx and Rosa Luxembourg, a German socialist figure.
Schuetrumpf is head of Karl Dietz Verlag, which specialises in communist literature, and spoke in front of his bestseller, a sober edition of "Capital," the landmark work written by Marx and Friedrich Engels and first published in 1867.
