In 1919, he played football in the Athletic Club of Eger but fought the foreign armies of intervention. At the time of white terror and WWI, he stayed Paris where he studied the trade of publishers. He met Attila József in Paris and he influenced Cserépfalvi to become a publisher. He founded his publisher company, The Cserépfalvi Publishing Company, in Budapest in 1936. He made friendship with Miklós Radnóti, The biggest tumble and the biggest success of the company are connected to Attila József. When the volume titled "Nagyon fáj" (Really Hurts) came out in 1936 it was welcomed with a complete indifference. However, after the death of the poet in 1938 the poems were extremely successful.

Because his inclination to the left Imre Cserépfalvi was tried: he was accused of operating as a spy for the English and this covers the expenses of his company. This trial was created because he was not afraid of publishing books that uncovered the truth concerning the time. One of these books was titled 'The Situation of Tardi' by Zoltán Szabó. The situation of the publishing company was not any better under the new regime: even though it was antifascist, it was nationalized. Later Imre Cserépfalvi was in the management of the Szikra and later the Corvina Publishing Company. Though the Cserépfalvi Company started to work again in 1989, the publisher died soon after.

The memorial room presents the life work of the honorable publisher. The exhibition was the result of the work of the monographer Erzsébet Tokaji Nagy, Tamás Békés publisher, Katalin Cserépfalvi, Miklós Cserépfalvi, and the self-government of Cserépfalu. The entrance is the reminder of the facade of the old publishing company.
