Timeline
At Bertelsmann, Gööck was called Sachbuch-Goethe ("Non-fiction Goethe"), others described him as a Vielschreiber ("writing maniac") and Sachbuch-Alleskönner ("Non-fiction Knowall") or as a Tausendsassa ("Jack of all trades") and Auflagenmillionär ("printing millionaire"). In 1983, his 230 books had a combined total print run of 41.5 million, including the German non-fiction leader, Das neue große Kochbuch (3 million), Alle Wunder dieser Welt (2 million) and Der Mensch in seiner Welt (12 volumes, 12 million).
For most publications (as of 1983: 230 books, non-fiction and illustrated books) it is impossible to work out to what extent Gööck was the author, initiator, coordinator and/or editor. According to WorldCat there are currently (2011) 613 works in 951 publications and 21 languages, including German, English, Finnish, French, Italian, Croatian, Latvian, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish; Portuguese, Swedish, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Hungarian.
1962 saw the start of Gööck's non-fiction career. He proposed to Bertelsmann, to produce a large cookery book for Bertelsmann Lesering; in the first quarter of 1963 the book broke all edition records. After that, Gööck wrote more than 230 non-fiction books and illustrated books during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s (games manuals and cookery books) under his own name but also under various pseudonyms, that were chosen for specific subject areas:
In addition to the versatility of the topics he worked on, speed of publication was also Gööck's specialty. For the first time at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Gööck and his team made sure that the first illustrated books reached the bookstores just four days after the closing ceremony. Further 'Gööck rush jobs' (Gööck’sche Schnellschüsse) (industry jargon) came out including picture books within only three days after the football and athletics world championships and the Olympic Games.
From 1954 to 1962 Gööck was Bertelsmann's chief press officer. In the late 1950s, he published new editions of the works of Jules Verne (Sigbert Mohn , Vier-Falken-) and Robinson Crusoe (Sigbert Mohn , Bertelsmann Lesering) and, in 1958, worked for Bertelsmann on a biography of Zarah Leander after the series of the same name in the Bild newspaper by Max Pierre Schaeffer. In the early 1960s, followed editions by Karl-May-Büchern for Bertelsmann, Mosaik (Hamburg), Scherz (Berne) and Phoenix (Berne/Munich), Heidi (Bertelsmann Lesering, Phoenix ), late 1960s Onkel Toms Hütte (Bertelsmann, Scherz ) and Wilhelm Busch’s Hausapotheke (Praesentverlag Peter).
Gööck's first book, the utopian crime thriller, Corix ist dagegen, appeared in 1948 under the pseudonym of Peter Roland.
