China Books had three ‘little’ homes (although they weren’t built of straw or twigs, just brick): Chicago, New York and San Francisco. We sold over one million copies of the Little Red Book and were the only ‘piggies’ in North America dis-tributing printed matter from China. To say the least, things have changed—new team, new products, new focus, new competitors. Yet, our passion and devotion to quality prod-ucts and service remains the same. As China Books nears its 50th birthday, we welcome your feedback, whether its stories to share from our past or comments on the changes we’ve undertaken and the products you wish to see in the future. (Send inquires to [email protected].) That would have us crying “wee, wee, wee” in delight all the way home!

Thank you for your years of support!China Books Staff
