History

In 1996, Graham Earnshaw^[3] developed the Tales of Old China website^[4] as an information portal about Chinese culture and history. He established Earnshaw Books in 2007 to bring Chinese and Asia interest books to English speakers, hoping to foster cross-cultural dialogue with China and the global community. In the time since, Earnshaw Books has published more than 150 titles^[5] which are currently distributed around the world.^[6]

In May 2011, the company entered the North American market with distribution partner Independent Publishers Group (IPG)/River North Editions.^[6]

The company released Décadence Mandchoue in April 2011.^[7] This is an autobiographical memoir of Sir Edmund Backhouse and contains controversial material covering Backhouse's life in China.^[8]
