Description:
This is an unread copy of Ancient China, part of the Great Ages of Man series which Time-Life Books began publishing in the 60s. This book was written in 1967 by the American academic Edward Schafer, Professor of Oriental Languages at Berkeley.

This is the first edition, sixth printing.
It's 8 3/4" x 10 3/4". 191 pages, including loads of photos, maps and drawings.

At some point, the front endpaper, which is green, became damp. There is a bookplate on the inside front cover. The green from the endpaper transferred to the bookplate. But you can remove the bookplate.

There is a little wear to the outside fabric edge and spine.
Otherwise pristine condition.

Note: Also here on Biblio, I have three other books from the same series: Ancient Egypt, Imperial Rome and the Rise of Russia

Description:
This is a near-perfect copy of The Book of Tea: A Japanese Harmony of Art, Culture and the Simple Life, written in 1906 by the Japanese scholar Okakura Kakuzo (1863-1913). It is the earliest English-language account of Zen Buddhism and its relation to the arts. Okakura's view was that "tea is more than an idealization of the form of drinking; it is a religion of the art of life."
It was written in English and is a long essay, broken into chapters. This printing is a replica of the original, in that the heading of each chapter has an illustration with an ink drawing by the Japanese painter Sesshu (1420-1506) and the portrait of Okakura by Kanzan Shimomura (1873-1930).
133 pages on fine paper. 5" x 7 3/4". In slipcase. Includes the original publisher's wrapper.
The slipcase is a little worn. The front endpapers have indentations to the paper. But this book has not been read and is otherwise in perfect condition.

Description:
This is the "unforgettable", "riveting" first-rate biography of Dr. John Reid, a Canadian doctor who was serving in Hong Kong in 1941. After the Japanese victory, he spent a year in a Hong Kong prison camp before being sent to Japan as a slave labourer. His efforts to save his men were heroic, but he would never be the same. He was a complex man--an outstanding doctor and war hero but, after returning home, a damaged and deeply troubled man. It was written by his son, the journalist Jonathan Reid.It was published in 2020--I don't believe it was issued in hardcover, so this is a first edition. Trade paperback. 455 pages including photographs. Two faint dogears, the last at page 71. Tiny bits of shelfwear.Otherwise pristine.

Description:
This is a very nice copy of Kim, the classic tale by Rudyard Kipling, first published in 1901. It is set in the imperialistic world; a masculine world dominated by travel, trade and adventure, and strict divisions between white and non-white. It is about the relationship between Kim, a white man born in India, and an old ascetic priest, a lama. Kim is trying to live in both cultures, while the lama seeks redemption from the Wheel of Life. It is considered to be Kipling's masterpiece.
This copy was published by MacMillan London in 1951. The dust jacket states 'Library Edition', although this is not an ex-library book.
413 pages, including a map. Aside from natural darkening of the paper, it is in mint condition.
