Olaf established a bookstore in Kristiania jointly with Olaf Norli, but the two eventually split, and Huseby was later running his company Huseby & Co in cooperation with Johan Sørensen. His company published books such as Skram's novel Constance Ring, Krohg's confiscated novel Albertine, and the periodicals Nyt Tidsskrift and Kringsjaa. In 1903 Huseby emigrated to America, where he established a publishing house in Minneapolis.

Olaf married Ingeborg Skjegstad on November 12, 1887. He was buried in Lakeview Cemetery but there is no headstone.

This is a rough translation from Norwegian:

Forleggjar and bookstores. Parents: Cotter Antunes Arneson Husebø (b. 1830) and Kristi Olavsdotter (1829-1864). Married 12/11/1887 to Ingeborg Skjegstad (born 05.09.1861), daughter of a teacher Lars Skjegstad (b. 1831) and Berit Andersdotter (b. 1827).

Olaf Huseby was the publisher and forleggjar, first in Christiania and later in America.

Huseby was the oldest of five siblings and grew up Wa farforeldra, school Haldar Arne Frekaland and Brita born Husabø, but he had good contact with parents and siblings, who lived on a smallholding in the same garden.

After allmugeskulen went road winter 1871-1872 Sogndal Folk, where the pastor Jakob Sverdrup, later church minister, was a teacher. The following year he started the school teacher at Stord and took teacher examination in spring 1875. Here he met goalkeeper, left politician and fråhaldsmannen Sven Aarrestad.

1876-79 Huseby was a teacher at a private school Brevig Borger School, but in these years he was also VERKSAM other areas, as a librarian in the city library and as a writer in the newly radical newspaper Breviks Avis. The latter caused concern in the school commission. When the Commission in spring 1878 was appointed second teacher, went against the majority to appoint Huseby. Thus did Huseby's choice: in May 1879 he resigned the position to say and traveled to the capital. He would be forleggjar.

In Kristiania worked Huseby two years Wa bookseller Albert Cammermeyer. During this time he became acquainted with målgranskaren Hans Ross and Trønder Olaf Olsen Norli, both of which would have contributed significantly to Huseby later. But Huseby wanted out into the world and learn more about forleggjarfaget. 1881 he traveled to the book and literary city of Leipzig, where he studied at the Deutschen Buchhandlerschule at night and worked in publishing Principal day. He also made a journey to Berlin and the UK. December 1883 he was the eighteenth and started together with Olaf Norli "the prince left the bookstore in the capital" - Olaf Huseby & Olaf Olsen, Boghandel.

The collaboration did not go smoothly, and after two years Norli traveled to Paris to learn more. 1885 went businessman Johan Sørensen new capital into Norlis City, the company took the name Huseby & Co.. 1887 moved Huseby activity from Karl Johans gate 39 at No 17, where he was to Norli came back in 1890 and took over. Huseby continued with its own publishing until he emigrated in 1903.

"Left bookshop" on Karl Johan released several controversial books, ma Amalie Skram Constance Ring, Christian Krogh Albertine - which immediately became seizure-made - and the second edition of Garborgs Bondestudentar (1885). In Festschrift for Norli Olaf Huseby says: "So be something purely unexpected. One day in 1884, when Hans Ross and I ate dinner at the Hotel Royal, was me sit with trelastgrosseraren Johan Sørensen. We got to talking and came to were talking about 'Bondestudentar' by Arne Garborg. We told him what Garborg wanted my book to the, um peasant lad Daniel Braut and so burtetter, but my book was utseld, and bookstores Nygaard in Bergen would not dare enjoy a upplag. Sorensen, who was a eldbrand, banged the table and said that I should at flygande stain ganga the disagreement buy right trykkjing. He would lend me money. I managed this with Garborg same day. "

Olaf Huseby wished to reach out to a broad layers of the population with quality literature. This he would accomplish through to give out inexpensive editions on the pattern from Germany and the UK. Together with Sorensen started his Bibliothek inexpensive book series for the thousands of homes, which came with the first outgoing vein 1887. Sorensen took the course of the series from 1890 and concluded with the partnership with Huseby.

1893 gave Huseby & Co.. the first issue of the journal KRINGSJÅ with unitarpresten His Tambs Lyche as editor. KRINGSJÅ was a window to the world. Outside the Norwegian original articles contained the excerpts of articles in foreign journals about the latest straumdraga in intellectual life, science and economics. It was Huseby himself who came to the striking new name KRINGSJÅ. Huseby and was interested in nynorsk skriftmål and "Huseby hymn book" (1893), a version of Landstads Salmebok with Blix's nynorsk hymns as a separate attachment, sold no less than around 200,000 copies.
