Gingko Press was established in 1985 by Mo Cohen and Julie von der Ropp in Hamburg, Germany. In 1991, Gingko Press Inc. launched in Santa Rosa, California at the offices and warehouse of John Martin’s Black Sparrow Press.
They moved to new headquarters in Corte Madera, California in 1994, distributing Taschen America to the book trade, and began accepting original manuscripts for publication in 1998. In 2009 they moved to our current facility in Berkeley, California.
In 1999 Gingko Press purchased world rights to iconoclast educator, media pioneer and author Marshall McLuhan.
