The Birth of Publishing Company ‘BookGoodCome’ The Discovery of Small Universes In Picture Books   2018.06.28   Reading picture books always leaves one wanting more.

Book Factory Dubulu

Book Factory Dubulu One-person Publisher for Animal Rights   2018.05.30   The South Korean public's interest in animals is growing by the day. More people are recognizing animals must be protected and as many celebrities join the movement it is far from a foreign concept now. However, this trend didn't appear naturally. Society is only changing because of someone's desperate cries and actions for change from when no one thought about animal preservation. Book Factory Dubulu, founded in 2006, is one of those entities who sought change. The publisher created momentum for change in people's thoughts and actions as they consistently published books on animals. There are few publishers that specialize in books on animals but even fewer that touch on animal rights. We became interested in how this publisher was able to operate their business for 13 years and why. Surrounded by sleeping cats, we met with founder Kim Bo-kyung and listened to the publisher's story.     KPIP...
