Vildmarksbiblioteket publishes pocket-size hiking guides and specialist literature concerning outdoor life, animals and nature. They are mainly publishing books in Swedish.
A need on the market The reason for the founding of Vildmarksbiblioteket was that they thought the market was lacking Swedish guide books as good as those you can find in France, Great Britain and Germany. On the other hand, they did find something similar in Norway which they took a liking to. Vildmarksbiblioteket decided to translate and publish them in Sweden. The response was very positive and that inspired and motivated them to continue working. What Vildmarksbiblioteket wants to read They then published books by Swedish authors which was a big breakthrough. But the biggest breakthrough was the publishing of the pocket-size hiking guides. Vildmarksbiblioteket also published a complement to these guides; pocket-size books about how to improve and facilitate your outdoor life, for example how to pack lighter. Vildmarksbiblioteket has the largest number of different titles within their area in Sweden. And they are constantly aiming higher.
