The Only Book you'll ever Regret is the One You Didn't Buy
CHINESE PROVERBS FROM OLDEN TIMES
A small hardcover book about 7 x 4 inches. From the Peter Pauper Press 1956.
The 62 pages and hard cover are clean, bright, and unmarked. The dust jacket has overall age (a nice
phrase, it's a bit soiled). Actual cover well preserved thanks to the DJ. Binding is tight.
Chinese proverbs from olden times, some you may have heard and others that may be new to you. Everbody uses proverbs unconsciously in daily speech, and a people's language expresses character and color by such use. Scholars say the Chinese have more proverbs,
and use them more, than any other people.
Click on the photo for a closeup. Currently on Ebay at $10 with a DJ with edgewear adn slits. This
copy does not and is offered to you at 50% less.

Winning bidder to add
$4.00
for USPS Book Rate and handling. I am happy to offer you a discount on shipping
when you purchase multiple items. Second and third items generally result in less than an additional $1.00 unless a "lot"
is involved. PLEASE note that I mail out books within 24 hours of receipt of payment. Look at the date on the tracking number that you
receive from me. I notice that I am getting dinged on specific feedback on shipping time and I don't understand why when I ship right away.
If you need this book in a hurry and don't want to wait 10 business days (I live in Massachusetts, time will depend
on how far away you live from me) for media rate, please consider upgrading to priority. I can give you a quote.
So check
here to see other listings that might be of interest to you.
International bidders: Please email me
for a shipping charge so you can make an informed buying decision.
Insurance is optional and $1.65 extra for items insured for up to $50.00.

with Paypal if this is a hassle. I want you to NOT be inconvenienced by this transaction. Payment must be received within 10 days of the auction end.
U.S. Paypal, Money Orders or checks are ok. If you
have over 75 positive and no negative feedbacks, I will not hold your check for clearance and your item ships right away as soon
