Commerce in Culture - The Sibao Book Trade in The Qing and Republican Periods

From the late 17th to the early 20th Century, Sibao was home to a flourishing publishing industry. This title describes rural, lower-level publishing and bookselling operations at the end of the imperial period. It traces how the poverty and isolation of Sibao necessitated a bare-bones approach to publishing and bookselling.
