Publisher's red paper over boards lettered in black on the upper cover. 

Condition: Bottom corners lightly bruised, occasional minor foxing, previous owner's bookplate at front pastedown, a very good copy. Please see photos.

This copy from the library of Simon Rulin Breusch, M.D., who was the "major historical source and advisor for the HealthSciences Museum Foundation of the Memphis and Shelby County Medical Society." 

"It is in this very un-Chinese book about the Chinese that an attempt is made to throw some clear and serious light on the world's oldest, continuous civilization. This book is un-Chinese in that its aim is to go quickly to the heart of the subject, and to present the essence of Chinese Erotica."

For most items, we accept returns with prior notice within 14 days of receipt. The item must be returned in the same condition as shipped. In the event that we will not accept a return, it will be reflected in that particular auction.
We pack carefully using appropriate protective materials. We are, of course, happy to combine shipping for multiple purchases.
