China Under the Covers blends history, how-to expertise, and a journalist's eye for detail into a compelling narrative of both cultural continuity and contemporary change. First edition. Introduction, table of contents, glossary, bibliography, list of images and illustrations. Black and white illustrations throughout. A study of books and bookbinding, part of the author's search for the origins of the book. Advertising post card laid in.
