The publishing house began with a Vienna city guide and a cookbook about the art of African cuisine. These first publications shaped the ranks of almondbaum's fine gourmandisen with literary texts on culinary art and city trips to Jewish Europe . The permanent program includes Judaica and new publications on the history of the Shoah . In 2013, a scientific series was founded in which university and non-university publications with a focus on titles in the humanities and social sciences appear. Since it was founded, the publisher has published twelve book series and published a total of 400 titles (as of 2015). His focus is on non-fiction books, and since 2000 he has also published literary prose. Since 2008 the edition of sound books, audio books, in which music not only plays the role of accompanying the text, but is an essential part of it. This is also the case with the audio book production The Last Days of Mankind based on the novel by Karl Kraus , spoken by Erwin Steinhauer . The ORF broadcaster Ö1 , which broadcast the radio play in 2014, wrote: "The music [...] is the acoustic and emotional foundation, creates the spaces in which the text can unfold". It was named Radio Play of the Year 2014 by Ö1 listeners. On the occasion of the presentation of the audio book edition sound books on Saarländischer Rundfunk 2014, Erhard Schmied wrote : "The Viennese Mandelbaum Verlag is one of those small but fine publishing houses that are little known, but whose programs often come up with interesting and unusual titles."
With the text About Bertha von Suttner by Marlene Streeruwitz , Mandelbaum Verlag published the first speech by a Viennese author in 2014 in honor of an important deceased Viennese writer. It is the prelude to the series of female authors celebrating female authors initiated by the literary department of the City of Vienna's Department of Culture .

criticism
In 2011, Mandelbaum Verlag published the English translation of the book Opportunity Ukraine by Viktor Yanukovych in an initial print run of 50,000 copies, in which he presented himself as a cosmopolitan and visionary statesman according to Die Zeit and, according to FAZ, touted the potential of Ukraine and wooed investors. On internet forums and by Ukrajinska Pravda he was accused of being "banal plagiarism". The publisher had the text checked, and Baiculescu explained: "The translator informed us that some passages were not plagiarized, but that the sources were not always properly named because footnotes had been omitted." The book is no longer available.
