This is a beautful birthday book, a book designed to jot down names, addresses, birthdays and phone numbers. There are also uplifting quotes by various authors. The paper itself is fabulous and the tiny Persian paintings are charming. There is no writing save one word -- Mother -- the name for a gift. The book measures 7" square. I suspect that this should be a book in a box. Otherwise it's clean and nice. View more info

We have our many fads, but so did the people of the 19th century. One of the big ones was the love affair with the bicycle. Men and women both took to the streets, pedaling all sorts of conveyances from the one person bike, to the trike, and the tandem bike. This book is about the evolution of the bicycle, the various kinds, how to use the bike, which even has instructions for {"Look Mom, No hands!) There's also drawings and facsimile ads showing the various kinds of bikes and bike accessories. Measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". Only fault is a tiny stain in the outer side margin of back cover.

Book is clean and without defect. It also retains its original box which is likewise pristine. The book is written in both Chinese and English, each page unfolding the elegant and graceful tea culture in both languages. The art is lovely and is seen on each page. But perhaps the most interesting are the Chinese postal stamps which echo the tea culture theme. They appear to be under plastic, but you can open them up and hold them and put them back. There are a total of eight. Book measures 7-1/2" x 10-1/2 with 24 pages. Book is easily put back into the box. Would make a very charming gift. View more info
