Cody's Books bought by Japanese book distributor

Cody’s Books, which recently suffered the loss of its flagship store in Berkeley, announced that it had been acquired by Yohan, Inc., the largest distributor of foreign books in Japan. This past May, Cody’s closed its flagship Telegraph Avenue store. The Yohan CEO assured that all employees at the San Francisco store in Union Square and the Berkeley store on Fourth Street will be retained and the bookseller will continue its writer’s events and book services for schools, libraries and companies.
