One special column of the Review would introduce a personal book room in Shanghai and its owner in every issue.[2] The foundation of the Review is inspired by The New York Review of Books and London Review of Books in early 2008. The pilot issue of the Review was published in 25 May, and the formal first issue published in 6 July. The Review celebrated its 8th anniversary in 2016.[3] The content of the Review also updates on news website The Paper (thepaper.cn).
