Since its founding,'Knowledge is easy, experience is deep' Based on this philosophy, we have created books that present science in nature and daily life in an engaging way for children, and offer new perspectives on tradition, art, and space for adult readers.
This idea has expanded into two brands, 'Jinsun-i' and 'Jinsun Books,' and continues to this day.With the hope that a book will not simply be read, but remain in someone's life for a long time, we have planned and produced our books.
Reason for Pre-order
‘Commentary on Daedongyeojido’ is not just an informational book. Through the special medium of old maps, it deeply explores time and space,and we believed it should be properly delivered to those who recognize its value. That was our thought.
In general bookstore distribution networks, it is easy for this book to be buried among countless new releases, and considering production costs and logistics, we felt it would be difficult to convey the book's true charm. Therefore,we chose a method where we could explain the meaning, production background, and unique features of the book one by one in the environment of crowdfunding, and connect directly with those who empathize with us. This is the path we decided to take.
Jinsun Publishing is not simply publishing this book,To share and allow collection with those who recognize its value. I believed this was important. I determined that crowdfunding is the most suitable channel for this purpose.
