Synopsis
"There is almost a total lack of literature on Chinese snuff bottles. This is, as far as is known, the only book on the subject, and there have been only a few magazine articles" wrote Mr. Hitt in the introduction of the first edition. This book became a collector's item. Until now, however, it has been practically impossible to obtain in either of its editions, for it was a handmade book produced by lithographic methods, and it had little hope of ever being reprinted. The present edition remedies this lack by bringing together, in photographic reduction, facsimile copies of the expanded second edition (1945) and the supplement and thereby making available to a much wider audience. This book was designed to replicate the original hand printed, lithographic work in book form. This book, with tipped plates and hand drawn illustrations, it is a collectors dream, both snuff and books alike.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. A very respectable copy of this 121pp guide which contains many drawings and a selection of tipped-in plates (one in colour). The text is clean throughout - just usual age-tanning to text block edges and a previous owner inscription on front endpaper. The binding remains tight and black silk boards display just minor wear to extremities. The dust wrapper has a few closed tears to edges/lower front tip but overall certainly remains presentable. Please see five pictures attached for a closer look. Seller Inventory # ABE-1743425406579
