East Asia, The Great Tradition
Boston / Tokyo: Houghton Mifflin Company / Charles E. Tuttle Company, 1966.

Hardbound, a handsome edition in openweave dark blue cloth boards gilt and enclosed in the glossy dust jacket. We do not have the "American edition" for comparison, but this issue seems not to have cut any corners in materials or design. Nice copy pace top edge wear to dj: the book itself is sound, clean, unmarked, very crisp and square, and the jacket is presentable. A History of East Asian Civilization, volume one.
Numerals on the dj states that the U.S. edition came out at $12.50, while this issue sold for $4.50 (in 1966).
