Item description from seller

This listing is for one volume only of the two-volume set. As for whether this is volume one or volume two, because it is still sealed in the publisher's shrinkwrap and the text on the binding is in Chinese with no apparent indication (to me) of which volume it is, hopefully the photos of the covers and spine presented here will answer that question (confusingly, the spine has a circled symbol which means "below," not one nor two, as far as I know). Although this volume is still shrinkwrapped, it is hurt, with wear at bottom of spine area and at bottom of back cover near spine, with corners bumped, and the leaves at bottom a bit wavy near the spine, thus the Good overall rating. As for what this book is about, here is the publisher's description: "People are tired of the same old stuff and are looking for something novel. With this in mind, I hereby present you two albums consisting of 600 unique pictures created by nature. The pictures cover a variety of objects: billion-year-old stones, commonly seen plants, flowers, grass and water. They seem to be inanimate and non-sentimental objects, yet the pictures inspired by them suggest the meaning of life. In addition, the focus on mysterious and metaphorical patterns incited by these pictures brings unexpected joy to the viewers. The masterpieces created by the hand of heaven free us from the boundary of inherent thinking and aesthetic pattern, and incentivize us to see and to ponder in depth: What is freedom? What is art? What is nature? What is natural grace? What is free spirit? And foremost, the one and only way for us to overcome difficulty is to embrace nature, from whose grandeur we draw inspiration and creativity!" Given that the "two albums" contain 600 pictures, it seems likely that this single volume contains about 300. Also, it is not known if the $60 publisher's price on the back cover is for the two-volume set or just this volume, which is large and heavy. Oversize [B1:7:1].
