Well-known book series include the Hanni-und-Nanni series for girls and the Burg-Schreckenstein series for boys. Circulations of over 100,000 received the Golden Tailor's Book award .

The slogan Children Love Tailoring Books was printed on the bottom of the back of the book. In addition, an age recommendation (from-to) was often given.

Only the “ S ” logo was present at the bottom of the spine . Books for boys were often marked “ J ” at the top ; also the name of the author was written in light blue letters. For books for girls, the author's name was in red / purple letters, and with the designation " M " on the upper spine of the book. Books for boys and girls were initially also marked in red, later in yellow.

Since 2003, the target group has been focused on children and young people up to the age of twelve. Comics, fairy tales and adventure novels are published as a focus, with accompanying films, story books or themed worlds also playing an important role.

However, classic tailor's book series such as Schreckenstein Castle are also being reissued again and again.

Other book series include Bibi Blocksberg , Kommissar Kugelblitz and A Case for You and the Tiger Team . Cinema films were also made for some children's books, for which Schneiderbuch brought out accompanying films.
