Text in Chinese. Signed by both authors. Stated FIRST EDITION. ** Colorful DJ, with a watercolor flower on one side, wraps around a gently used hardback filled with colorful full page illustrations. Olive green boards have white text on front and spine. Front cover has a 2" pen mark near spine and .25" white smudge near foot. Both boards have a slight concave bow. Pushed spine ends have a slight impact on shoulder ends. Binding is secure. Artwork remains vibrant and lush. Interior is gently age-toned, with the occasional smudge that does not interfere with the art. Page 32 has a 1.5" closed tear. Pages 71-76 are affected by a 1.25" gutter crease at foot. Inside pages are free of writing and intentional marks. DJ is nicely preserved behind Mylar and is backed with archival paper. Overall, DJ also has light aging and dust, with some bumps and a few closed tears. Text and images are intact and unaffected by any issues. Close examination of DJ reveals a bit of edgewear, including a .5" closed tear at back head corner, while head corner has a thumb-sized stain and sharp 3" crease. Spine ends have notable chipping. Head of DJ shows signs of something like a rough drop. ** Book is formatted to open Western style: with fore edge on the right side the cover has a luscious watercolor flower, and has obvious title pages and an English colophon in the first pages. If opened from the left in typical Asian format, the cover has a wide green band along spine with prominent bilingual text, and inside is a prominent Chinese colophon along with Chinese-language publisher ads. ** Assumed how-to on Chinese painting, considering layout and style of illustrations. Some of the pages show detailed breakouts of a larger image, that someone of artistic inclination use as examples to create their own Chinese-style painting. ** PROVENANCE: Presentation copy to Mr. Kurt P. Stabilit(sp?), in English and Chinese characters, signed by both authors. Includes pasted photo of national award won by this book. ** 216 pp, 9.5 X 11.75 inches. ** Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight.
