What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding
Fourth edition, revised and enlarged. Based on the author's own experiences living in China for almost forty years, this work explores almost every aspect of Chinese life, character, and culture. Arranged in alphabetical order, this study provides a detailed commentary on the people and ideas of contemporary China, from abacus to zoology. Written by James Dyer Ball, a Hong Kong scholar and author noted for his works on Chinese culture and for contributing to the development of the system of Cantonese Romanisation.
Condition
In the original full cloth binding. Externally, sound with light rubbing and bumping to the extremities and the odd small mark to the cloth. Light fading to the spine with small splits in the cloth to the head and tail as well as the joints. Hinges starting but firm with the front endpapers loosening, likely to detach with further handling. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd small spot. Minor age toning to the extremities.
