Publishers

• Panico. Mit dem Anspruch, von allen äußeren Einflüssen möglichst unabhängig zu sein, ging der Selbstverlag Pasold 1981 an den Start. Die ersten Kletterführer waren gewollt minimalistisch und handgestrickt, verkauft wurde aus dem Rucksack, später in ein paar Sportgeschäften und Buchhandlungen der Region. Mit der Erweiterung des Programms über die Schwäbische Alb hinaus wurde aus dem Selbstverlag der Panico Alpinverlag, und mit der Veröffentlichung des Sun-Rock Führers erweiterte sich der Aktionsradius auf den gesamten deutschsprachigen Raum. Vertriebsweg mussten verbessert werden, das gewachsene Programm machte Verlagprospekte erforderlich, die ganze Sache wurde professioneller. Heute können unsere Titel überall bestellt werden, Buchhändler beziehen die Titel über den Großhandel und haben die Bücher am nächsten Tag. Bei unseren Präsenzbuchhändlern könnt ihr euch alle Titel zuerst mal anschauen. Wer über unsere Website bestellt, hat seine Bücher im Regelfall in maximal drei Tagen. Aber trotz dieser Professionalität sind wir immer noch unabhängig von äußeren Einflüssen. Ausgenommen vielleicht vom Wetter. Wenn tagelang die Sonne scheint und die Computer und Bildschirme die Temperatur im Büro auf knappe 40 Grad treiben, dann lassen wir uns schon mal einen Betriebsausflug an den schattigen Albtrauf aufzwingen. Zum Recherchieren natürlich.
• Topo.verlag. Während einem tief verschneiten Jurawinter entstand die Idee, die gesammelten Touren, ja Skitouren im Jura! In einen kleinen Führer zu packen. Damit wurde der Grundstein für den kleinen Verlag gelegt. Unterdessen sind ein Gebietsführer rund um die Gruebenhütte im Gruebenkessel dazu gekommen. Der Kletterführer Ticino keepwild climbs mit 60 Routen im Bereich 3 – 6a zum selbst Absichern, ergänzt die aktuelle Auswahl. Viele Ideen und Projekte stecken in der Schublade oder sind in bearbeitung: Hochtouren Topoführer Walliser Alpen erscheint auf diesen Sommer, die Berner Alpen sind in Vorbereitung. Ein neuer Sportkletterführer Zentralschweiz, ein Boulderführer über Blöcke auf der Alpennordseite oder die 2. Auflage des Skitourenführers Winterwelt Jura halten uns auf Trab.
