— Where Books Come to Life
Emkay Books International was founded in 1982 with a simple but powerful belief: Pakistan's children deserve the same world-class books as any classroom abroad — and schools deserve a partner who makes that effortless, every term.
Emkay Books International was born from a simple but powerful idea: bring the world's finest books within reach of every Pakistani child. At a time when internationally published educational material was virtually unavailable locally, Matin M. Khan saw a gap — and chose to fill it.
He pioneered access to a new generation of colourful, engaging, and educationally rigorous titles — books that combined the highest editorial standards with the kind of storytelling that makes learning genuinely enjoyable. The company he built didn't just import books; it changed what Pakistani schools believed was possible for their students.
Over forty years on, that founding vision — that every child deserves access to world-class learning material — remains the principle behind every order we fulfil.
"Bringing books and children together — that was always the only idea that mattered."
— Matin M. Khan (Late), Founder · Est. 1982
Every title we carry is chosen for the rigour of its educational content and the quality of its production — because children deserve nothing less.
We believe great literature crosses borders. Our catalogue draws from many cultures and traditions, broadening students' understanding of the world.
We select books that foster curiosity, build confidence, and encourage a genuine enthusiasm for learning — beyond the exam, for life.
Emkay Books International exists to help children read, learn, and grow — building a longstanding relationship with schools as the partner they can always rely on for the very best in educational publishing.
