Oh yes, I was working in publishing company in Denmark. Some of my
friends in Germany self-publish all the time and make money on 1000 -
5000 copies only. One friend was handling very specific subjects, such
as pictures and stories of a local town. That sells for sure, long
term. Your book would need to be distributed to climbers or similar
groups. 

1. Obtain ISBN number:
   https://www.kb.se/in-english/about-us/swedish-isbn-agency.html
   https://www.slu.se/en/subweb/library/publish-and-analyse/register-and-publish/isbn/

2. Self-publish, invest some 1000 Euro, and make several copies. Start
   is not hard

3. Start making book reviews in local libraries, not forgetting to
   mention Emacs and free software

4. Use THIS book to make money:
   https://archive.org/details/selfpublishingma00poyn_0
 
   Self-publishing brings constant income over time.

TIP: User high quality, better pictures.
