About Tuttle “Books to Span the East and West”
Our core mission at Tuttle Publishing is to create books which bring people together one page at a time. Tuttle was founded in 1832
in the small New England town of Rutland, Vermont (USA). Our fundamental values remain as strong today as they were then—to
publish best-in-class books informing the English-speaking world about the countries and peoples of Asia. The world has become a
smaller place today and Asia’s economic, cultural and political influence has expanded, yet the need for meaningful dialogue and
information about this diverse region has never been greater. Since 1948, Tuttle has been a leader in publishing books on the
cultures, arts, cuisines, languages and literatures of Asia. Our authors and photographers have won numerous awards and Tuttle has
published thousands of books on subjects ranging from martial arts to paper crafts. We welcome you to explore the wealth of
information available on Asia at www.tuttlepublishing.com
