Earnshaw Books is a Hong Kong-based publishing house specializing in quality English-language books about China’s past, present, and future. Earnshaw Books was founded in 2007 by CEO Graham Earnshaw. First concentrating in reprinting old China classics, Earnshaw Books has expanded to include original works covering an array of topics on Chinese history and contemporary culture[1].
History[edit]
In 1996, Graham Earnshaw developed the website talesofoldchina.com[2] as an ever-expanding information portal about Chinese culture and history. The site quickly gained popularity, and Earnshaw realized that the demand for Chinese classics and Asia-interest books was not being met by conventional publishers. Earnshaw Books was established in 2007 to bring Chinese and Asia interest books to the English speakers and foster cross-cultural dialogue with China and the global community. In the time since, Earnshaw Books has published more than 40 titles which are currently distributed around the world[3].
In the News[edit]
Earnshaw Books has been emerging as a credible publishing house for some years, but has attracted significant attention with the release of the book Décadence Mandchoue, the memoirs of controversial British linguist, Edmund Backhouse. The work has been featured in both the New York Times and The Sunday Times (London) among other international publications. [4]
In May 2011, Publishers Weekly, covered Earnshaw Books' entry into the North American market with distribution partner Independent Publishers Group (IPG)/River North Editions in an article entitled “From China to Chicago".
