About This Item
China: Anhui Arts Publishing House, 1999. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Lavishly illustrated tribute to the photographer in 176 pages with Preface by the former mayor of the City of Huangshan, the focus of many photos here. Bilingual, in dual Chinese-English languages. Oversized (folio) hardcover brown cloth-covered boards with gilt Chinese lettering to front & spine. The unclipped DJ is gold-colored with other symbols in black. The book is in Near Fine condition: only flaw is slight rubbing to extremities. Otherwise, it is completely clean: looks, feels, & smells just a tad less crisp than Brand New! Binding is strong & straight, pages white. The DJ is downgraded to VG due to heavier rubbing along all edges & a tiny 1" tear descending from top edge of back cover. Beautifully protected in new archival mylar cover & shipped in solid box. Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
