SOYODO Chinese bookstore

This bookstore, launched in 2004, ships books from China and sells them at a price about 150 percent of the original price. For example, a book for 80 RMB may sell for $15. This is very good news for Chinese readers.

Besides the online bookstore, www.soyodo.com, which is being developed, they have mortar-and-brick stores in L.A., the San Francisco Bay area, N.Y.C., and Chicago. Several other locations are in the plan.
