China Books & Periodicals was founded by Henry H. Noyes in Chicago in 1960 as a distributor of books, magazines and newspapers from the People's Republic of China. As interest in China grew in the West, so did Chinas Books physical presence. Noyes expanded the business to San Francisco, where it flourished as a retail store at 2929 24th Street in San Franciscos vibrant Mission District. A third China Books branch was also established at 125 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Today as part of Sinomedia International Group, China Books remains the oldest and largest publisher, importer and distributor of books from and about China to North America. Now headquartered in South San Francisco, California, China Books has expanded its wholesale, retail, and publishing operations with strategic partnerships in China and abroad, resulting in a worldwide distribution network, multimedia and library services, and an ever-increasing list of books and products specializing in promoting Chinese history, society, language and culture. visit our Facebook profile here: https://www.facebook.com/pg/originalchinabooks/about/?ref=page_internal
