Nance .to write a detailed guidebook to Suzhou, naming it for the first time as the garden city , an appellation it retains in travel literature down to the present day" [Craig Clunas; "Fruitful Sites: Garden Culture in Ming Dynasty China", p. 202]. With attractive colored maps on the endsheets of The Waterways; plates from photographs by C. H. Wong, and 5 folding maps. An important guidebook. Very Good binding. N� de ref. del art�culo 276582
