I have tried grading my books in many different ways but different things are important to different people. I have decided that I will give you 3 grades; DJ [if applicable], Cover and Inside. I will try to describe them in a way that will allow you to make your own determination of the overall grade. Please remember that this is my opinion and I don't professionally grade books.

- Cover Art: When the Chinese Nationalists left the mainland for Formosa in 1949, they took with them the vast Palace Museum Collection of art treasures. A detail from one of the finest of several thousand paintings in the collection—Eight Riders in Spring attributed to the tenth-century master Chao Yen—appears here. Painted in ink and colors on silk, it shows a group of noblemen in colorful jackets riding through a palace courtyard. The figure at right, with whip raised, may be an emperor. This is one of the Formosa paintings coming to America this year (see the article, with portfolio beginning on page 14). It appears in Chinese Painting, a recent Skira Art Book.
