Bevis att Napoleon aldirg existerat ("Evidence Napoleon never existed") was the first book published by Albert Bonnier. Pictured is a facsimile edition from 1962.

Bonniers förlag, or Albert Bonniers förlag, is the largest book publishing company in Sweden and also one of the oldest.

Established by Albert Bonnier (1820-1900) in Stockholm in 1837 and still owned by the Bonnier family, the company is currently publishing around 150 books every year.

Karl Otto Bonnier (1856-1941) at Albert Bonniers förlag was the main publisher of the books by August Strindberg and also bought the rights to all of his writings one year before his death in 1912 for the sum of 200 000 Swedish kronor, a very large amount of money at that time. Albert Bonniers förlag has also introduced many Nobel prize winners in literature to Swedish readers, as well as numerous celebrated 20th century Swedish writers such as Hjalmar Söderberg, Birger Sjöberg, Evert Taube, Gunnar Ekelöf, Tomas Tranströmer, Kerstin Ekman, Werner Aspenström and Klas Östergren.
