history

On November 5, 1896, Johannes Lauritz Wisbech (1870–1944) and Arnold Busck (1871–1953) opened Busck & Wisbech . Her shop was initially on Pilestræde in Copenhagen. Five years later it moved to Købmagergade 49. In the same year Wisbech withdrew from the company. In 1922 Arnold Busck bought the publishing house Nyt Nordisk Forlag . The following year, a foreign book department was added to the business, selling the Encyclopedia Britannica and books from His Majesty's Stationary Office . Accordingly, the business was now called Arnold Busck International Boghandel . In 1941 it became a stock company . In July 2008 BO Bøger A / S was bought, adding 18 stores to Arnold Busck A / S. Helle Busck Fenwig has been company director since May 1st, 2010. Her husband Jesper Fensvig has been the publishing director since January 1st, 2008.
