What Our Customers Say...

Description

Colour Plates, Early Edition, Illustrated, Pleasing Copy, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

An early edition of this volume, published in 1999. An excellent copy in the unclipped dustwrapper. 

Lindsay and May Ride researched and studied the hidden stones of Macao for years; through their studies, they uncovered many mysteries and the rich history of the region. 

This brilliant volume brings to life the individual, events, and circumstances that made Macau the unique place it is. 

Abridged with additional material by Jason Wordie and a foreword by John King Fairbank. 

Illustrated with various beautiful coloured plates and photographs in black and white throughout.

Condition
