The Company
Since opening our first shop in On Lan Street in 1983, Bloomsbury has built its reputation as a reputable bookseller and library supplier specializing in law and business titles. We supply major law firms, universities and schools, government departments, various libraries and companies big and small in Hong Kong and China. In November 2005, The Commercial Press (HK) Ltd acquired Bloomsbury Books as an extension of its professional arm serving the legal and business communities in Hong Kong.
We have established trade accounts with over 600 publishers and suppliers worldwide, and we are recommended stockists for an ever-growing list of publishers including Aspen, BPP Publishing, Cambridge University Press, Carbolic Smoke Ball Company, Carswell, Cavendish, CCH, Context, Euromoney, Gower Publishing, Hart Publishing, International Financial Publishing, John Wiley & Sons, Jordans, informa LLP, Kaplan Foulks Lynch, Kluwer Law International, Law Matters, LexisNexis, McGraw-Hill Education, Old Bailey Press, Oxford University Press, Pearson Education Group, Sweet & Maxwell, Sweet & Maxwell Asia, Thomson Legal & Regulatory, Tottel and West Group.
From 2003 to early 2006 we established a popular children's and general books section at Club Lusitano Building, making Bloomsbury a shopping destination for all the family as well as the professional community. Although our move in February 2006 to a smaller space in Hutchison House has meant temporarily suspending this retailing section, we continue to promote children and general books to schools through book exhibition and direct mailing.
