About the company

Bogreservatet is a Danish publishing house, founded in the spring of 2012,  which primarily publishes translated literature for the Danish e-book market.

“Bogreservatet” means “book reserve” or “book sanctuary”, the name reflecting a wish to conserve and diversify quality literature, an endangered species in the Danish book market.

Bogreservatet translates, edits, and publishes selected  literature. In addition to publishing new literature, Bogreservatet acquires rights to titles that have already been translated and published in traditional paper format in order to make  these titles available for Danish e-book readers.

In short: The purpose of Bogreservatet is to create a modern framework for high-quality, long-lasting literature, and in so doing to give the Danish readers access to different worlds of litterature.
