The swedish artist Leif Eriksson with his Wedgepress & cheese, has an archive (SAAB, swedish archive of artists books) of swedish Artists books. After many years of collecting he has published a list. Drömmar ur bladens händer ( Dreams out of leafs hands) is according to the list, the first swedish Artists book. In the magasine BIBLIS, he has written an article about Swedish Artists books. There he says: The earliest swedish Artists book is, as far as I know, C. O. Hulténs Drömmar ur bladens händer. This very day (1 okt 2007) it is a new exhibition in Gothenburg, Tänd mörkret (Light up the darkness) Swedish art 1975-1985. In the catalogue Tomas Millroth writes: There was a tradition of artists creating alternatives, from CO Hulténs Image Förlag with maybe one of the worlds first Artists book, Drömmar ur bladens händer from 1947, to the same Galerie Colibri in Malmö 1955-57 and Drakabygget i Örkelljunga from 1961.
