The mysteries of the Universe are international, the skies are not crossed byborders. However, the knowledge is transmitted by language, imposing linguisticbarriers that are often difficult to break through. Bulgaria is considered asan example of a country with relatively small reader base -- it has apopulation of about 6.5 million (2021) and the Bulgarian language has probably$\sim$7 million speakers, if the diaspora in US, Germany and elsewhere isaccounted for. The smaller-scale market, in comparison with larger non-Englishspeaking countries, poses a number of limitation to the publishing landscape:(i) the local authors are discouraged to pen both popular and scientificastronomy books, because of the limited financial incentive; (ii) the market isheavily dominated by translations (from Russian before 1989, from Englishnowdays), but even those are fewer than in bigger countries, because thetranslation overhead costs are spread over smaller print runs. The history ofthe astronomy publishing in Bulgaria is summarized, with some distinct periods:pre-1944, the communist era 1944-1989, the modern times post 1989. A fewnotable publications are reviewed. Finally, some practices to help astronomybook publishing in languages with smaller reader bases are suggested, takingadvantage of the recent technological developments.
