Book World x Rosebud

A112

In Book World you will find a very wide selection of world literature from Rosebud books, including good selection of English, French and Swedish books: new releases, classics and rarities.
First Rosebud bookstore opened in Kulmakatu in Kruunuhaka, Helsinki in 1995. Since then we have had about 80 fixed bookshop premises at different addresses, most of them in the Helsinki city centre.
Currently we have five bookshops. Kaisaniemi Sivullinen is the largest bookshop in Finland by number of titles. At the time of writing, Rosebud’s bookshops have close 60 000 different titles on their shelves. The emphasis is on non-fiction, including the full range available from all major scientific publishers.
In the field of fiction, particular attention is paid to literary classics and science fiction, as well as books from small publishers and self-published works.
In the early days of its history, the company’s publishing activities focused in particular on film literature.
That is why the company was named Rosebud after Orson Welles’ great film.
