I found bunch of New books and bought 11 today for less than $25. But books are not organized at the shop so you will have to spend time to look for them. It's like going to a thrift bookstore except these are brand new books

I went there in the Sixties. They had all kinds of info that you could not get anywhere, and posters from the Cultural Revolution. I'm glad they are still online. But China is now like most other Asian countries. North Korea is now like China was then. I wonder if there's a store for that! ;-)

From China Books & Periodicals
The story of China Books begins with Henry H. Noyes (1910–2004), who founded China Books & Periodicals Inc. as the sole importer of books and magazines from mainland China to the United States.
Now headquartered in South San Francisco, California, and a part of Sinomedia International Group, 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.
