About This Item
London: Chatto & Windus, 1959 Excellent work on Chinese Junks by a long-time employee of the Chinese Maritime Customs, and the acknowledged author on the subject.
Warmly inscribed by the author - with his "chop".
Yellow boards are somewhat stained and grubby, and there is some scattered foxing affecting the map end sheets and the edges of the book block, else VG and unusual with Worcester's "Chop".
