h:ström - Text & Kultur bildades i oktober 1998. Under det första året delade vi lokal med den beryktade skivbutiken Dredd Records. Efter ett år i trånga lokaler flyttade vi till Skolgatan 41 och fick härliga 250 kvm att förfoga över. Under de första två åren drevs ett antikvariat och en bokhandel i Umeå, Norrland. Men år 2000 fanns dock inte längre någon återvändo, utan bokförlaget påbörjade sin verksamhet i liten, tyst skala, jämte det övriga. Bokförlaget h:ström - Text & Kultur har sedan gått en hygglig utveckling till mötes. Från att ha varit ett enmansförlag åt en stavkarls terapeutiska kvällsaktiviteter, till att bli ett allmänutgivande förlag som hittills publicerat drygt 300 titlar, ej inräknat en hel del uppdragspublicering under tryckeriets vingar (se nedan). Bokförlaget är idag i praktiken ett av Norrlands största och mest aktiva bokförlag.

Summary
A gorgeous deluxe edition of the world's most celebrated guide to life, love, relationships and pleasure.
Little is known about Vatsyayana, who is reputed to have composed the Kama Sutra "while observing a celibate's life in full meditation." In Sanskrit the word "kama" means desire, especially for sensual pleasure, and its proper pursuit was considered an essential part of a young, urbane gentleman's well-rounded education.
Untold numbers of readers are curious about the Kama Sutra but put off by its clichéd image as an erotic Oriental curiosity. This elegant edition offers a compelling modern translation of a classic Indian masterpiece-and a wry and entertaining account of human desire and foibles.
