Item description from seller

A smart first edition of this thrilling historical novel, signed by the author to the title page. First edition. Signed by the author to the title page. Set in Canton, 1833, this novel follows Walter Eastman and Gideon Chase, two young Americans working in the "factories" in the home of the East India Company on the South China Coast. When Eastman is fired, the men establish a weekly paper chronicling local business dealings, politics, and social life around the thriving opium trade. Written by Timothy Peter Mo, a British Asian novelist. In the original blue cloth binding. Externally, excellent. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also excellent. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Fine.
