Ordering Swedish books
Although it's intended for readers and translators in North America, Laura Wideburg's page of information on how to order Swedish (and other Nordic) books from abroad is a useful resource.
Worth adding to this that although Bokus do not deliver to the US or Canada (the reason for Laura's note) they apparently do deliver to the UK, Australia and New Zealand. I have just tried to order a book and it looked OK, though the transaction failed for some technical reason at the last minute.
Seems to have been just a one-off secure transaction failure with the credit card company. I tried a second time and it worked perfectly, so I am now awaiting delivery of Jonas Jönsson's Restaktivitet...
That's great. If you feel like writing a blogpost or review for us after reading the book, I'll add you to the list of contributors, and you can log in. Just let me know.

Can you email Bokus and find out what happened, maybe?
