Summary/Abstract: The paper portrays the printer, publisher and bookseller Lavoslav Weiss, who lived and worked in Bjelovar between 1903 and 1918. This was a period when the city underwent democratisation and modernisation, and when the bourgeois class grew stronger. Hence, the demand for books, journals, newspapers, and printed publications in general increased. The paper confirms that Weiss knew the right way to respond to this demand, and that he thus played an exceptionally important role in the cultural, social, economic and political life of the city
