Chinese Knotting by Lydia Chen - 1982 1st English Edition - Signed!


Funky Christmas / Everyday Funky

 

These books etc. come from my father-in-law's estate. We have an entire weaving and yarn shop inventory to sell that was filled to the brim.

 

This book was found in a locked glass bookcase in my father-in-law's yarn shop.  This book is in GOOD condition.  The spine is unbroken.  Actual front and back cover have no damage.  No marks or highlighting in text except for a price in pencil on the front inside page.  Cover lies flat.  Some color photographs. Black and white diagrams and instructions.  Illustrated, collectible, 1st English edition.

 

Sadly, this book has gotten wet in the past.  The thick, glossy pages are not damaged and there is no smeared ink or moldy pages.  There is just a little bit of a wave at the bottom of the book.  Which is a shame, as the things that can be done with these knots seem endless.  This book would be a good fit for people looking to make accessories, jewelry, or add-ons to other projects etc.


Finally, when taking pictures, we just realized this book was signed by the author! How cool is that?
