Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Bound in full tan cloth. Both the spine and the decorative front board are stamped in gilt. Octavo. 305pps. A special limitation page reads: 'Of this special edition of China As I See It 3,000 copies have been retained by the author for presentation'. This copy is not numbered, but is SIGNED by the author. An excellent, collector's-quality copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The pages are immaculate; no reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has light rubbing wear -- particularly at the tips and the spine-ends; no chips, soiling, or tears. The original price (7.95) is intact. A beautiful copy of a scarce issue. ".With Communist control of China in its third decade, Pearl Buck takes a long view of a country that measures its history by millennia. 'China As I See It' is made up of a selection of Pearl Buck's writings and speeches beginning in the 1930's, with a long final chapter newly written to summarize the Communist take-over, its background and its consequences."
