Bonnier Books Holding AB

Bonnier Books brings together Bonnier's ventures in the book industry across Northern Europe. Its publishing houses collectively include more than 100 distinct imprints, with operations in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom. The group's activities also encompass the digital audio and e-book subscription service BookBeat, whose largest markets are Sweden, Finland, Germany and Poland. Bonnier Books is owned by Bonnier Group and is headquartered in Stockholm.

Bonnier Books traces its heritage back to 1837, when Albert Bonniers Förlag published its first work, Proof That Napoleon Never Existed. In 2002 Bonnier brought together its book publishing businesses under Bonnier Books. Bonnier entered the Finnish book market in 1996 through the acquisition of the publishing company Tammi; in 2011, following Bonnier's acquisition of WSOY, Tammi merged with WSOY. Bonnier entered the British book market in 1999 through the acquisition of children's publishing company Autumn Publishing, and its UK operations are now gathered under Bonnier Books UK. In 2014 Bonnier Books entered the Polish book market through the acquisition of the publishing company Marginesy, which now operates under Grupa Marginesy. Bonnier Books launched BookBeat, a digital subscription service for audiobooks and e-books, in 2016. After leaving the Danish market in 2007, Bonnier Books re-entered through the launch of Gutkind Forlag and later the acquisition of Strawberry Publishing (renamed Alpha Forlag); following a reorganisation in 2025, Alpha now operates as an imprint of Gutkind. In 2021 Bonnier Books acquired a majority stake in Strawberry Publishing's Norwegian operations, later renamed Bonnier Norsk Forlag, and at the same time divested its 50 percent ownership stake in Cappelen Damm.

A family-owned enterprise with nearly two centuries of heritage that takes a long-term view, thinking in generations rather than quarters; it does not aspire to be the biggest player in its industry but strives to be the best at what it does.
