The Cheshmeh Cultural Family is a longstanding Iranian book and publishing group with more than 40 years of continuous activity. It brings together publishing imprints, bookstores and a distribution network, connecting readers with books across the country. Its imprints cover a range of subjects: Cheshmeh publishes literature, Charkh focuses on the humanities, Gilgamesh on art, Ketab-e Ch on children’s and young adult books, and Divar on personal development and business.

Radio Goushe offers audiobooks, while the group also operates an online bookstore and the Cheshmeh School. Its bookstore network includes locations in Tehran, other Iranian cities and abroad. The Cheshmeh Distribution system works between publishers, bookstores and readers, aiming to support the publishing cycle and make access to books more equitable.

It draws on a broad distribution network, developed infrastructure and close collaboration with publishers and bookstores throughout Iran to make book supply faster and more transparent. The group’s wider activities also include cultural products, periodicals, literary services and rights representation
