CBN CandleBook News was launched in April 2008 as a bilingual, independent online publication aimed at the book sector. Over the last two years, it has expanded to include culture and the environment.
As a publication, it provide news, interviews and academic articles as well as music, photography and videos. This year, in February 2010, we began our blog, What's Out There, for our over 10,000 international visitors to participate in.
Our aims are to provide visitors with a varied, cultural content and also the possibility of purchasing quality books from our online store. We hope to encourage reading and raise awareness of current cultural and environmental issues. We hope that by understanding each other's culture and literature, we might understand our differences and enjoy and respect them.
