About us

Bonnier Books brings together Bonnier’s businesses in the book industry across Northern Europe.

With a heritage dating back to 1837, when Albert Bonniers Förlag published its first work, Proof That Napoleon Never Existed, Bonnier Books has grown to encompass a wide range of independently run publishing houses and a digital subscription service providing audiobooks and e-books across Northern Europe. Originating from, and headquartered in, Stockholm, Bonnier Books’ publishing houses are currently active in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom.

The digital subscription service BookBeat is one of Europe’s leading streaming platforms for audiobooks and e-books, with over 1,000,000 paying users. Its largest markets are Sweden, Finland, Germany, and Poland. The group also operates physical bookshops in Finland.

We do not aspire to be the biggest player in our industry, but we always strive to be the best at what we do. Focus is therefore essential: we do not aim to be average at many things, but to excel at a few. This is how we create long-term profitability.
