Founded in 2002, American Biblioverken was established as a publisher of quality works of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. The aim of the company is to bring accessible yet compelling books and authors to the attention of a wider public, with special emphasis in the areas of art, architecture and history.
In addition to works by new and current authors, American Biblioverken is also committed to the rediscovery and preservation of classic fiction and non-fiction texts, offering reformatted, edited and newly-illustrated editions of past works for a modern age.
Currently, books published by American Biblioverken have worldwide distribution network through POD sources such as Creatspace, Ingram, Lulu and other production sources. For most titles, our sales distribution channel utilizes the most widely used bibliographic databases in the publishing industry, such as R.R. Bowker's Books in Print®, as well as other sources. Our titles are also available on Amazon.com.
We are committed to creatively integrating the two essential elements of book publishing -- content and presentation -- in a manner that offers the reader a richer and more rewarding experience.
In addition, American Bibioverken offers book design, packaging and production services to publishers, printers and authors. Additional services include custom periodical publishing, such as local directories, visitor guides and promotional magazines and booklets.

Our digital creative service capabilities can also be put to use, whether you'd like to create a podcast, a promotional video, or even a website to help promote your book. Just ask us how we can help you get your message onto the web or the airwaves.
