The Tuttle Story: Books to Span the East and West

Many people are surprised to learn that the worlds leading publisher of books on Asia had humble beginnings in the tiny American state of Vermont. The companys founder, Charles E. Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped in publishing.

Tuttles father was a noted antiquarian book dealer in Rutland, Vermont. Young Charles honed his knowledge of the trade working in the family bookstore, and later in the rare books section of Columbia University Library. His passion for beautiful booksold and newnever wavered throughout his long career as a bookseller and publisher.

After graduating from Harvard, Tuttle enlisted in the military and in 1945 was sent to Tokyo to work on General Douglas MacArthurs staff. He was tasked with helping to revive the Japanese publishing industry, which had been utterly devastated by the war. After his tour of duty was completed, he left the military, married a talented and beautiful singer, Reiko Chiba, and in 1948 began several successful business ventures.

To his astonishment, Tuttle discovered that postwar Tokyo was actually a book-lovers paradise. He befriended dealers in the Kanda district and began supplying rare Japanese editions to American libraries. He also imported American books to sell to the thousands of GIs stationed in Japan. By 1949, Tuttles business was thriving, and he opened Tokyos very first English-language bookstore in the Takashimaya Department Store in Nihonbashi, to great success. Two years later, he began publishing books to fulfill the growing interest of foreigners in all things Asian.

Though a westerner, Tuttle was hugely instrumental in bringing a knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for information about the East. By the time of his death in 1993, he had published over 6,000 books on Asian culture, history and arta legacy honored by Emperor Hirohito in 1983 with the Order of the Sacred Treasure, the highest honor Japan can bestow upon a non-Japanese.

The Tuttle company today maintains an active backlist of some 1,500 titles, many of which have been continuously in print since the 1950s and 1960sa great testament to Charles Tuttles skill as a publisher. More than 60 years after its founding, Tuttle Publishing is more active today than at any time in its history, still inspired by Charles Tuttles core missionto publish fine books to span the East and West and provide a greater understanding of each.

Preface

This book is the follow-on volume to Elementary Korean , published by Tuttle Publishing. For detailed background about the making of this textbook series, please refer to the preface in Elementary Korean .

Like Elementary Korean , Continuing Korean owes much to the comments and criticisms of several cohorts of students at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, and at the University of British Columbia (UBC), during the years 19902001. Likewise, Continuing Korean has benefited from valuable feedback on the part of numerous colleagues in Korea, Great Britain, the United States, and Canada. We have acknowledged most of these debts in the preface to Elementary Korean but would like to take this opportunity to record our gratitude to the following UBC Teaching Assistants (TAs) and Sessional Lecturers who have contributed in numerous ways to the making of Continuing Korean : Jee-Weon Shin (TA, 19961997 academic year); Soowook Kim (academic years 19971999; 20002002), Dafna Zur (19992000). In addition, Sunah Park Cho made numerous helpful criticisms during the years 19982000 while working as webmaster for the UBC Korean Language Program Web sites, Susie (Yunju) Cho and Victoria Wilding helped compile the glossaries and exercise answer key and Mookyung Kim, Soowook Kim, and Victoria Wilding proofread the manuscript several times. We gratefully acknowledge the helpful comments and criticisms of Eurie Shin, Alexander Vovin, Michael Sinclair and Charles Danziger in producing the revised 2015 edition. Finally, we are grateful to Sunah Cho, Sun Hyang Jung, Ilsung Lee and Soowook Kim for providing their voice talents for the audio, and to Frank Ludwig and Al Farrell of Quantum Sound Studio and Frank Talk Publishing, Ltd., for their expert assistance in producing and editing the audio recordings.
