Summary/Abstract: The article offers documentary evidence directly related to the publishing family Yurukovi and the book series “Tapestry of Famous Contemporary Novels” they published. This documentary material has not previously been presented in its full form to academic audiences. These sources make it possible to reconstruct the family’s activity and Georgi Yurukov’s contribution in particular. Without claiming to be exhaustive, the article proposed here aims to systematize in one narrative Georgi Yurukov’s partially traceable but undoubtedly intriguing biography, as well as his activity and contributions to book publishing and in the wider cultural development of Bulgaria during the first half of the 20th century. Through the factual data, new details related to the problems of book publishing and book distribution in Bulgaria during the considered period are introduced.
