About the publisher
Shanghai World Book Company is a publishing house. Public information is limited, and basic details such as its English name, founding year, and location have not been confirmed. According to the holdings in the database, the house currently has two titles, the representative works being The Complete Biography of Nian Gengyao and Anecdotes of Nian Gengyao. Both center on the Qing dynasty figure Nian Gengyao: the former focuses on biographical narrative, while the latter collects related anecdotes. Its publishing direction therefore appears to concentrate on biography and historical subjects, commonly classified under general biography. The author credited in the database is World Book Company, which may reflect an editorial approach organized under the house name. At present it is difficult to judge its series structure or overall author resources, but it can be confirmed that the house has devoted attention to biographical works on historical figures.
