1973ref. psbauhsignedDJLimitedIf you notice the date on the signed page is bonded paper which will hold a signature in place for almost ever and it is date June 1972. These were printed and signed to celebrate her 80th birthday and usually came in a 12 volume set but other books were planned this is one of those. The pages were signed and installedtipped in like the others. The page is real the signature is real but is un numberedcalled out of series I have only seen 3 of these so they were very limited I guess the rest are 100s for sale. The only defects I see is there is a touch of rubbing to the spine ends on the book and DJ otherwise it better than Near Fine Unread unmarked and very square. JOHN DAY hardcover

1933ref. 162586London: Methuen & Co. Ltd 1933. In the time of Five Kingdoms confusion reigned high. First UK edition first impression of the first full translation into English of one of the most widely read novels in any language here finely bound by the Chelsea Bindery. The product of five years of scholarship Buck's translation was first published in the US in 1933 in two volumes with the present edition following just a few months later. All Men are Brothers tells of 108 heroic outlaws led by Song Jiang who establish a fellowship on the Liangshan mountain in Shandong and relentlessly uphold values of kinship and virtue in a world dominated by corruption and evil-doers. The novel provides "a vast social panorama whose characters include nearly all the types and occupations of China. Priests and courtesans march across the pages along with merchants scholars tavern keepers politicians and minor officials farmers fishermen slaves aristocrats and children. There is even a succession of mythical animals. At the center of the action is the robber band enforcing rough justice in a bad world" Conn p. 137. Octavo 207 x 134 mm.
