India Book House was established in 1952 for the import and distribution of books and magazines in India. Today, with a far-reaching network of ten branches across the country, it is renowned as much for its distribution and subscription agency, as for its successful and evolving publishing programme. It commenced its publishing activities in 1966, with paperback editions of titles by bestselling authors such as Enid Blyton and Frederick Forsyth. Today, it is one of the leading publishers of illustrated volumes on Indian history and heritage, specializing in architecture, fine art, decorative art, film, environment and lifestyle.
