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.

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.
